Cragar Grille vs Saleen Grille

As of now I have the Roush grille painted black. It keeps chipping because im going to construction sites every day. So, i thought it was time for a 'real' black grille. Also, where can I buy both of these grilles?
Which one do you guys like the best? Any other information that I should know about either grille? Thanks

P.S. I do have a train horn in the front of my truck behind my grille so if its too visible ill have to go with something else, also not looking to spend a lot of money because I'm building another car. Thanks Again

Saleen Grille


VS

Cragar Grille

I have the Cragar grill. I actually bought what was advertised as the Saleen grill and when I got it and took a look at it I could tell it wasn't Did some research and found out it was the Cragar grill.

I think the Cragar grill would show the train horn.

I prefer the saleen grille. I tried contacting Crager a while back to see about getting one but no one ever responded back. No idea if the horn will show or not.

There's more to the Roush grille so you can't see the horns so much. The Cragar and Saleen have less bars so you're going to see more. I can even see through my FX2 grille a pretty good bit.

Thanks guys for the advise. Is there any other black grilles on the market that will hide my horns. I don't like them to be visible and with the roush you can barely see them. If you know of any other grilles, you comments are much appreciated.

Yes, if/when I get a new grille I will be selling my Roush. You'll be the first one I ask.

My pick would be the saleen grille but I'm not sure if it would hide the horn well enough. Below is a pic of the saleen on my truck and if you look close you can see the yellow hood latch.

they look alike to me. other than the difference with the bars. i think it would be your best bet to buy the one that is the cheapest.

Yeah, Ill prob go with the saleen grille. It looks sick. Maybe i can put some sort of black mesh sheet behind it so you cant see the horns. Like the winter shield ones.
