This may be a silly question considering how many people on here have and love the Roush Grill, but mine surprised me when it came in today at lunch...

I read all of the good things about them on here, and then purchased on from Roush Overstock, great price, fast shipping, can't beat that. The surprise came when I opened the box and discoved it was just chrome dipped plastic.

It is my fault that I didn't research this further, but it surprises me that I received a Roush grill that isn't billet aluminum.

Is anyone having any durability problems with the chrome dipped plastic?

 

I haven't. They sell 2, one is chrome dipped plastic and the other is billet aluminum which costs like 2.5 times as much.

 

Ive had my plastic one for 2 years now and it has help up awesome. A few chips in it but compared to my front end its doing well. I also hit a pheasant in the corner of the grill and it didnt break or crack at all.

 

They're more durable than billet aluminum grilles. Billet aluminum grilles lose their luster and I have never seen one that has straight bars.

The Roush COP grille is a tough grille.

 

I've had mine for about a year and the minnesota winter hasn't screwed it up yet.

 

This roush grill is excellent, i'd rather have plastic on plastic than metal in plastic. Takes shamp much better, will not budge, and is pretty strong. If only I got get black paint to adhere to it well i'd be happy lol.

 

Thanks for all of the feedback.

I got it installed on the truck, and I am extremely happy with the look.

 

Just a thought... the plastic is reinforced and out stock ones are plastic anyways. Def a good question tho man... at first I wondered the same thing. Not silly at all
