Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo Grilles
What Volvo truck models and years are these grilles compatible with?
Our Volvo grilles are designed to fit specific model years and series. Most aftermarket grilles fit VNL models from 2004-2017, with separate options for 2018+ redesigned models. VNR and VNX models typically require their own specific grilles due to different mounting points and dimensions. Always check the product description for your exact year and model, as Volvo made mid-year changes that can affect fitment. If you're unsure, contact us with your VIN and we'll confirm compatibility.
Are these grilles made from stainless steel or chrome-plated steel, and which is better?
We carry both stainless steel and chrome-plated options. Stainless steel grilles (typically 304-grade) offer superior corrosion resistance and require less maintenance, making them ideal for harsh weather conditions or coastal areas. Chrome-plated grilles provide a mirror-like finish at a lower price point but require regular polishing and can eventually show pitting or peeling. For trucks operating in winter road salt conditions, stainless steel is the better long-term investment.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?
Most Volvo grille replacements take 1-2 hours and require basic hand tools: socket set (typically 10mm, 13mm), Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, and trim removal tools. The process involves removing the hood, disconnecting the factory grille mounting bolts, and transferring any bug screens or winter fronts to the new grille. Some models may require removing the bumper for access. Professional installation typically runs $150-300 if you prefer not to DIY.
Will aftermarket grilles affect my truck's cooling performance or warranty?
Quality aftermarket grilles maintain the same or similar open area as OEM designs, ensuring proper airflow to your radiator and charge air cooler. Look for grilles that specify they meet or exceed factory airflow specifications. As for warranty, cosmetic modifications like grille replacements typically don't affect your powertrain warranty, but always verify with your dealer if you have concerns. Keep your original grille in case warranty work requires OEM parts to be installed.
What's the difference between punch, oval punch, and rectangular bar styles?
The style affects both appearance and functionality. Punch grilles feature small round holes and offer maximum protection from road debris while maintaining good airflow. Oval punch designs have elongated holes that provide a custom look with slightly more airflow. Rectangular bar grilles deliver a classic, aggressive appearance with maximum airflow but less debris protection. Consider your driving conditions: construction sites and gravel roads favor punch styles, while highway drivers often prefer the bold look of bars.
