Overview
The T-Rex Grilles 20463 is a Rumble Bee billet hood scoop grille bolt-on insert with a polished aluminum finish. It is a horizontal style insert for 2002-2005 Dodge Ram pickups.
The insert is designed for bolt-on fitting with fewer tools and no cutting. It is made from T-5 or T-6 billet aluminum rather than extruded stock, given a glossy powder coat, then finished with a three-stage polish and cleaning. It is produced at the Southern California facility of T-Rex Grilles.

Choosing a billet grille insert
A hood scoop insert changes how the front of the hood looks, but it also sits in a area exposed to road debris and washer spray. Billet aluminum tends to hold its shape well, and a powder-coated finish protects the surface from light scratches. Once fitted, the insert should sit flush with the scoop opening and not rattle at speed.
Before you tighten the fasteners, lay the insert in place and check the gap on every side. A grille that sits proud or low can catch wind and vibrate. Clean the scoop area first, since grit trapped under the insert can mark the finish over time.
- Confirm the gap is even on all sides before tightening
- Clean the scoop opening before installing
- Recheck fasteners after the first drive
