What is the difference between Stull and Carriage Works

[tblaze30]

Alright! So I have done countless hours of reading and research to choose between a Stull or Carriage Works billet grill for my Av. and honestly cannot figure out why the Carriage Works are cheaper. Is there a difference in the overall look or installation process? Any info on this would be great! Thanks!

the Stull company has been around for years. they have been making billet accessories for vehilces for awhile now. also the quality of Stull products is outstanding. Stull use's thicker bars than most of the other companies out there. so obviously i have the Stull, and have been very happy with it. i think the Carriage works grill attaches with zip ties. i am pretty sure i have read this in some ealier posts. the Stull comes with mounting hardware.

The Carriage Works Billet grill comes with mounting hardware also, it uses 4 black 1/4 x 3 toggle bolts. Mounts over the existing stock grill. Be careful of one sold on E-Bay usually for $75.00, that one does attach with tye-wraps and has an over bent arch on the top half. They're made by a guy in California.

thanx for getting me straight on that. i knew it was one out there that had the cheesy install method.

btw, the Stull uses the same hardware to mount over the grill.

Thanks for the info guys...so I guess it is worth it to pick up a Stull based on the difference in quality...how easy is the installation process on one of these? The Stull's also go over the existing grill, correct?

yes. that is correct. i took mine off however. i found it was easier for me to get the grill perfectly centered this way. not that you could not do it with out taking the grill off. i guess since i can do it i just did it, you know. very happy with the results by the way.
