Default Durango Blacktop Edition available for 2013

The blacktop trim package that is available for Charger, Challenger, and Avenger are now available for Durango. If you've already got an RT it doesn't really do much more for you, but if you want the looks of the RT with a lower trim, it might sell well. For the Durango it mentions Aluminum 20" wheels with black paint---but they look just like the wheels the RT comes stock with, just painted black. I thought stock RT wheels were an alloy, not aluminum. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Just curious if they will have a different wheel or just the stock RT wheel with black paint?

Default Blacktop version

I saw that and immediately imagined Dodge hiring someone to dunk parts in plastidip. Perhaps their designers are reading the forum.

The 2013 R/T comes with 20" aluminum wheels. I am thinking the Blacktop will just be a painted version of these wheels.

Cool Blacktop parts

I recently just bought a black 2013 Dodge Durango and would really like to replace the grille, bottom ft. chrome piece, both side chrome strips & back applique plate with blacktop styled parts

I cannot seem to find anywhere where to order blacktop style parts (I even called local dealer).

My other option is to replace them and then have them painted black. Open to suggestions (without spending a ton of cash that is ...)

... anyone have paintable parts they'd like to exchange for new chrome parts?

THX
