Nah the whole reason you get the R/T is for the whole sporty monochrome look.

Then there's your answer u foot the note put a chrome grille on it, I was speaking of how the truck and package was developed aesthetically end how a chrome grille would look on a truck where everything is body colored. Too each his own...

If you make the swap, and are interested in getting rid of your grill, let me know. I'm looking at getting a body matched grill for my Crew

Yes I ordered the OEM Mopar chrome grille (same as Citadel) and put on my R/T. To each his own opinion about colors, but I bought the R/T for the suspension and driving experience, not for the monochrome colors. To me on a vehicle this big, its a little much for my preference. Maybe if I was younger... Anyway we put on chrome side steps and the chrome grille and it adds a small but nice amount of contrast with the rest of the vehicle, which is black everywhere.

One note of caution, in order to install the grille you have to remove the front bumper assembly. Not nearly as easy as most grilles where they just snap in and out. Expect some labor to be involved in the swap if you decide to do it.

I do, but I am going to keep it, as I plan to put it back on at some point (at least when its time to sell the D). Thanks anyway for inquiring.
