Lincoln Navigator Grille

The opening at the front of the Navigator that allows air into the radiator to help cool the engine is the grille. Most grilles come with a metal or plastic insert that adds a design touch to the front end. Navigator's grille emphasizes mass and a kind of beefy elegance, yet it is unmistakably a member of the Lincoln family. Some grilles is designed for quick and easy bolt-on installation, but at the same time gives your vehicle a customized look. The original Billet insert is exactly that - an insert.

The factory plastic grille is then modified and inserted into the factory grille opening, usually from behind. In front of the Navigator is Lincoln's signature grille. When talking of grilles there are different kinds. A grille insert is made from billet aluminum that replaces the original equipment insert. It is restyling accessory that is available for pickups, vans, SUVs and even luxury cars. Phantom grille i replaces the painted or chrome grille shell, usually on a pickup or SUV, and extends all the way across the front of the vehicle. Most phantom grilles cover the headlights, but some 'half phantom' grilles leave the headlights exposed. These are typically are made of billet aluminum. A metal or plastic insert that mounts inside a vehicle's grille and adds a design element to the car or truck's front end is the grille insert often made off billet aluminum, while others can be painted body color for a more monochromatic look.
