Hendrix, there is a guy around school with the sport package on his red Dakota. If he leaves that thing parked over night, Im swapping bumpers and grilles with him. Lol

And the door mouldings are heading Donkeys way, unless he doesnt want them when I take them off. You guys can try trading him so see if he wants chrome.

I wish I was the one to score the tow hooks for $30! But you all know I wouldve posted up by now if I did .... I wouldnt be able to keep that under my hat.

And last but not least, I GOT REAL NIGHTRUNNER HEADLIGHTS! I was searching around eBay and decided to see what was under "07 oem dakota headlight" and I found a few listings for Mopar Nightrunners. I bought one left and one right (there are no pairs), totaling $175.95 after shipping. Not to shabby, and both are supposed to be in excellent condition. If I wanted to buy them new, the only place I can find them wants $299 plus shipping .... or I would have to buy knock offs.
If you find them for 30 there better be more than one set or dont tell us

And your Ebay theory is correct, it took me a yr to find some parts for my bike for the price I wanted to pay but thats another story

I love them deals, I got my new CAI that way... the place had it up for maybe a day, figured out it was too low or something and took it down. Luckily I seen it, made my case to them and they honored it. I have since then done some marketing for them... so I guess they made out some

First thing I bought off eBay for my truck. A K&N drop in for $20 shipped, new in box. I got Mopar locking lugnuts for $12 shipped. And the list goes on and on. And trust me, I never reveal secrets until I know I got one in my hands first. Sorry boys. Lol.

I will add it to my list of daily searches. Like I said, I cant do any internal engine mods. I know Thunder got his HO cams super cheap. Browse the dodge forums, there are a ton of them and people are always selling stuff.

Well the new grille showed up and the other headlight will be here Tuesday.
Its a bummer that the mopar black has metallic in it
It is very faint, so I will see how it looks before I jump the gun, but if it doesn't look good ill most likely get the grille sprayed red since I doubt I will ever find a already painted red grille
