While most full custom jobs are expensive, there are simple ways you can add a personal touch to your car without breaking the bank. One quick and easy option is to add a grille trim piece to your vehicle.

Grille trim is a decorative accessory that attaches to your car’s grille, usually around the grille frame or on top of the grille mesh and bars. It is typically secured using a snap-on installation or adhesives. Grille trims allow you to customize the look of your vehicle without the need for costly and time-consuming work at the shop.

Decorative grille trims improve your vehicle's aesthetic and help provide additional protection to its grille assembly. Trims and skins that cover the frame, molding, bar, or mesh of your grille prevent damage by acting as a protective cover of the grille components. By adding this layer, the trim will be the first to get damaged by road debris like rocks.

There is a wide variety of grille trims available for car owners looking to spruce up their car. Depending on its placement, a trim can be categorized as an upper or lower grille trim. Grille trims are typically made from chrome, stainless steel, or thermoplastics.

Chrome

Give your daily driver an upgrade by adding chrome trim on your front grille. Unlike the black matte plastics that come with lower variant vehicles, polished chrome adds extra shine when light hits your vehicle. Adding chrome is also a way to make any car look classier.

Stainless steel

If you’re looking for a more durable version of chrome,  stainless steel trims are your best bet. Stainless steel is highly resistant to scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing. Adding stainless steel trim over your grille can help prevent dings and dents from forming on the frame.

Thermoplastics

Thanks to advanced technology, plastics used in cars have become more durable than ever. You can choose to install plastic grille trim on your vehicle without worrying about warping or cracking. Thermoplastics are specifically designed to resist heat, impact, and chemical damage.

Along with protecting your assembly, grille trims can also help you add interest to your car’s grille without adding extra weight. They also come in different colors and finishes, so you can get the unique look you’re going for.

The cost of grille trims varies depending on your vehicle’s year, model, and make. They typically cost anywhere between $20 and $2,500. Grille trims are available individually, in sets of 2 to 8, or as part of a complete grille assembly kit.

Grille trims are quite easy to install. Even a novice will have no problems with its installation. If you’re looking for a quick and enjoyable weekend project, adding trim to your car’s grille may just be the thing for you.
