did get get the black grill?
I recall someone wanted to put a black grill on their truck. Ispentsome time withphotoshop to see what mine would look like. I am not photoshop expert as you can tell, but I need some type of reference. I was going to sand off the chrome since I have a huge bubble in mine.

If I sanded it and painted it, I would try to match the color of the black thing on the top of the bumper.

What kind of mirrors did you get? I want to buy some "Sport" mirrors so I'm anxious to read about your install.

I thought about this as well. I also have a silver truck. But I think the chrome would look best even though I prefer black rims,rail caps, tool box,and side steps.

Alright guys. Got them in with no problem, they are MASSIVE.

I have a bunch of pics on my digital camera, but i gotta find the damn cord to it before i can upload them.

Heres some from my camera phone. 98- Yes i did go with the black grill, the hardest part for me was gettin the dodge emblem off the old one. i finally just took my pocket knife and pried it off. Super glued it on the new grill.

Im in love with my truck again...

neon, aint you jealous?

Yeah, love the grill, my photoshop'd pic does it no justice.
I have the same mirrors, but I don't have mine in the flipped out position, if I did, they would hit the sides of the garage door.
