Yep the honeycomb is chrome too! The grill itself is actually one piece, I can't remove the honeycomb even if I wanted to...will be posting a DIY on this soon, I found a short cut on this... Also my fourth 2nd gen grill install (not all on this truck). I'm getting good at it

Default Thanks

Thank you for all the feedback. How hard is it to replace the grill? A couple quick bolts or screws or a little more serious that that?

Default On a different note...

I know that I started this thread about the grill, but I also have another thread about engine/transmission problems. Since a couple of you have similar Rams maybe you have run into these problems. If you have time and any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!

I just looked at my old grill in the garage
6 studs on the grill that go trough the face of the hood.
6 screws go through the steel braces into the under side of the hood and I think 2 screws for the latch lever.
all are 8mm.
Takes about 10 minutes to remove
I think laramies color match DIY has pics of the locations.

Default Grill chrome bubbling/peeling

Mine is doing the same no peeling yet I'm looking into my powder coating guy possibly powder coating it in a custom finish maybe an anodized look or carbon fiber? He has tons of custom color options including chrome . I am planning on a two tone in the spring after cleaning up all the dings and dents so maybe something different.

I'm guessing its that Chinesium chrome they use that causes this
