| | | Phantom Vision | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 1,542 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 1,542 | Hey guys, quick question... I always liked the "Phantom" grille look on most vehicles (my favorite being on a 1st gen. Camaro) anyways, I have seen tube grilles for my Van but Im not "I love" Id rather the headlamps be covered as well. I have looked around and It seems they just didnt make them for the Mid Dodge Vans. (or maybe they did, I just cant find one) Do you think it would be easy to fab one? or have someone fab one for me?? are they even legal in my state?? yaddie, yadda... Any info would help. I messed around with some ideas with MS Paint and heres what my Van would look like with a phantom grille. Your thoughts? Thanks

I did like this on my old suburban years ago... wish I still had a pic of it. Warning, the light output is NOT real good, so make sure to add fog/driving lights, and use them! Or maybe mount the headlights in the bumper? maybe?

Home Depot carries the square aluminum tubes that you can use to fabricate one. Make some brackets that contour to the shape of the front end and space the tubes a rivet them from the back side! Sounds simple ha!
