I'm looking to get a sport bumper and grille for my truck so I can do the 99+ sport conversion, but I can't find them anywhere!! I've looked on ebay, craigslist, even called salvage yards... What else can I do?

I'm not really wanting to buy new because the prices are usually just stupid... But if it's a decent price I will. I'd really just want to find a sport that's being parted out. Any help would be appreciated

 

Keep checking craigslist is about your only option. Not many rams end up in salvage yards for some reason, I can't find any around me either.

 

Paint your current grille and bumper.

 

I did. But they were "chrome" and not holding up that well. The paint on the plastic especially is chipping off like crazy. It's ridiculous.

I'm probably just going to order a paintable grille on ebay and see about getting my current bumper repainted if I can't find a paintable one...

 

All I can say, is maybe you didn't prep it right, and or use the right paint.

I'm going to do the same thing, because it's simply not worth the money to swap to a sport front end ,which is rare to find a good one and like you said, too much money new like from LMC.

 

Yeah supposedly there's a "flex additive" you have to mix in with the paint for the plastic pieces... Gonna try that this time around and hope it works.

 

gdstock painted his chrome bumper, might ask how it's holding up and what he used.....

 

He might have said how he did it in his thread. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...body-work.html
