Haha, those pics just about made my day. Lol
But, whatever you want to do depends upon what you want to mod your truck to be like. I would definitely do something. If the grille is the same stuff as the bumper top piece, I'd go without a grille/bumper before having those. IMO, it just puts off your truck as the bottom line Dodge. Nothing done to it, but a base line truck. Going all white would look pretty sweet. I haven't seen those bumpers up close, but my brother once showed me something sweet on a Chevy forum. It was with the dash, but it was about how to remove your dash, sand it down, then paint it. If the bumper isn't smooth, sanding it down then painting it would add 100% to it, IMO once again. That would make it basically the same fascia as what other Dodges have.
But, if you want to go like Semigod, or another member who has a white and black truck, then I'd just look around at some other things, and don't make it all white. Just like my truck, it has too much chrome on it, so I can't theme it dark/grey/black, just because of that fact. So think how you want your truck to look when complete.

Hey Dan, I have the same color scheme that you have (mine is QC). I am not intending to hijack your thread, but we need the exact info and opinions. I would like anyones opinion on:
(1) what my truck would look like if I changed to a chrome grill, BUT left the all black bumpers (like the ones in Dans picture). I have noticed that the trucks with chrome grills also have a partially chrome bumper.
(2) Leaving the black outer grill and adding chrome inserts. I have never seen an example of this and realize it would be rather different.
Thanks so much. I have just recently got the Dodge, after switching from Ford and love it so this is my first post here.
