Default yeah

Yeah I agree I am not real happy it doesn;t have the dodge letters on it, but it will look better than my old one, I have chrome popping off, and its nicked up in a few spots. Still wondering what kind of paint will hold up, I may hit with Black Epoxy paint either Rustoleum or Krylon, I have to see whch can be used for plastics I don't want to melt the new grill.

What do you mean by melting the grile?

And Ive googled about spray painting those kinds of things before and Ive seen quite I few topics about it. Id try looking around some.

Why did you replace it? I like the original better.
