Default WHERE TO GET! (Debadged grill) ??? Or a new stock one???

I was trying to debadge my nose emblem today and I cant get it off!!! I ended messing up the nose a little and I was wondering if there is a grill just like the one I have now with it debadged and clean, like new???

Does anyone know where I could find one?

If not where can I get a new stock one?

LMC or a junkyard. It's going to be expensive since you'll have to get a sport grille.

What were you using to get it off with?

With the recent front end redecoration of my rig via blacktail doe, I've been shopping for a grill too. From what I've found, you have three options. Option 1) Call around and find one at a wrecking yard. Be picky, most will be scratched up, cracked or peeling. Option 2) You can get aftermarket grills on ebay (but I don't recall seeing black ones). Option 3) You can get a new one from Dodge. Save yer shekels, a new one's in the realm of 340ish dollars based on the insurance estimate I'm not following. I found one from a private guy on craigslist who was parting a truck he pulled the diesel from for $50.00.

What did you do to your present grill? Scratches can be repaired...

He can't just order any grille off of ebay. His is a sport and it is a little different over our SLTs. Yes, they have/make ones in a plastic with out foil form. Look at my grille. I ordered mine from pershing auto brand new in primer for $40.00 shipped. (No, it wont work on his)

Brendon, unless you tore a chunk out of the grille, you can repaint. It might not be an exact match, but it will be close enough for you to say," If they're looking that close, they bought it".

He was trying to remove the front nose badge...

Which, BTW, Man, I don't know how you were trying to remove it, but it shouldn't have been that hard. I've taken mine off a few times now, the first time it had the easy to remove silicone; the other two times, I had plastic glue on it. The other two times were a little harder, but not impossible.

EDIT: That grille should work.
