My dad went down and ordered them from the local dealer today.

 

I agree with you to an extent - part of it is definitely that people can't drive...Another part is ignorance..and another, big part is simply that accidents happen.

We had a patch of black ice on one our our backroads everyone speeds on..and we had a 5-6 car pile up b/c of it.

Grille guard (finally):

Not sure what to do about the black trim piece. Gonna either cut out slots for it to fit, or just try to clean up the top of the bumper and leave it. Input?

Edit: Big red - how much did those gears run you?

 

I say put it back on. Looks "incomplete" w/o it.

 

Yeah..thats kind of what I was thinking. Plus it helps hold on the wheel well plastic and the plastic on the bottom of the bumper.

 

Looking at your sig pic...Before you put it on, sand it and put some adhesion promoter, then some black paint.

 

better yet use krylon fusion paint for plastic...it has the bonding and flex agents in it already for plastic trim.....I used it on my fog light inserts....sticks great and doenst crack and peel when the plastic expands and contracts...

 

Dropped my ram off today to have my front carrier replaced and have my 4.56's put in it. cant wait to get her back and see how she runs

 

...Do that to what?? The trim piece? It's already black. I thought about sanding down the bumper to get rid of the extremely small traces of rust. but couldn't find sand paper just now so I didn't bother. Its back on now. Broke one of the cheap clips

 

No, it looked faded.

 

ordered my 14x3 edelbrock housing and filter, and got some headers
