How Royalty Core Builds World Class Grilles

If you're wondering what goes into a grille from Royalty Core - and why their truck grilles are often considered the best money can buy - here's what you need to know

ROYALTY CORE BUILD GRILLES TO LAST
  • Royalty Core chooses their materials carefully. They're pleased to offer the world’s only all stainless steel grilles for a long corrosion-free life like no other. Here's what they guarantee:

  • Premium-grade T304 stainless steel is used in all components.
  • Their stainless steel wire woven lock-crimp mesh is strong, difficult to cut or puncture, and rust-proof.
  • Their studs are one-of-a-kind, stainless steel, and are available in 4 finishes.
  • Stainless steel is a difficult and expensive material to work with, relatively speaking. It would be much easier and cheaper to work with plastics, and they could cut costs by using mild steel, aluminum, or galvanized hardware. But that's not the kind of company they want to be.

  • Not to mention, stainless steel is the best material available when it comes to protecting your vehicle's radiator, transmission cooler, intercooler, etc. from road debris.
THEY FOLLOW A DETAILED BUILD PROCESS FOR EVERY GRILLE

Their build process has been perfected over the years, to the point where they can build a grille better than any company in the world.


  1. They start with CAD drawings and/or a Solid Works 3D model of whatever they're creating. This ensures precise manufacturing and exact fitment.
  2. They verify fitment of every 3D model and CAD drawing as part of their product development process, testing each grille design on brand new vehicles to ensure exact fitment.
  3. They use CNC machining for ultimate precision to cut out frames, custom emblems, and other elements that require tight tolerances.
  4. The main grille frame is hand-formed to match OEM factory rolls and bends.
  5. Each mounting bracket is machined and bent for an exact, long-lasting fit. They use more mounting brackets than any of their competitors because they want a precise and secure fit.
  6. A three axis machine cuts the steel mesh to fit the main grille frame design, with diamond shapes flowing from one end to the other in a straight and symmetrical pattern.
  7. After their mesh is cut, it's formed to match OEM rolls and bends, detail cut again, and edges are ground. All the woven edges of the mesh are then welded. They don't know any other company that performs such detailed, quality work.
  8. Spacers are machined to mount the mesh from the backside, so the mesh is a separate unit. This provides diverse mesh color options for their customers.
  9. Their Royalty Core logo or your custom emblem is machined, studded, backed, and secured through the mesh.
  10. Every element is pre-fit together, disassembled, bead blasted, final inspected, edges detailed, and coated in-house with bold flat black, satin black, or gloss jet-black paint. They also offer custom color matching.
  11. If a surface has a machined finish, it is polished. If a surface is painted, the color is perfect and the finish is OEM grade. If a surface is powder coated, they guarantee a smooth, quality finish.
  12. As a result of their rigorous process, each grille is assembled, fitted, tested, and quality controlled 3 separate times during the build process before it's completed. This is a level of detail you won't find anywhere else.
