Default 2001 Dodge Ram Sport Grille

I have a friend looking for a 2001 Dodge Ram Sport white front grille. He is having the worst time finding one...and so I am lol. Any ideas where I could find one? I've tried eBay but they only come in chrome or black, and he wants to buy it painted white and ready to install. Thanks.

he could get the cheapest one and paint it himself and save a bunch of money.

To get it painted white already is going to be expensive might try going to a body shop or the dealer. But your looking at more than $500 probably closer to $900. I know because I just got estimates on fixing my truck and I have the older sport grille and the average price of the grille in estimates was $700.

Better off getting one of ebay and getting it painted

Hell, I airbrush and have white paint. I'll do it for 200$ if you're getting quotes for 700+ :P

Thanks for the information. I definitely think he'll be going on eBay and then having one paint. Seems like the best way to go. The dealers do overcharge, so he didn't even bother with them lol thanks again.

Thats for the body shops to order the grille, because they use OEM parts and they come already painted, it helped me get 2100 to fix my truck though
