I was hoping someone could help me find a sport grill for my 08 ram. I am looking a black or a paintable one and can't seem to one. When I do a search, I keep getting links for grill inserts which seem to be a dime a dozen.

 

you could just paint your chrome one. sand it down until the chrome is dull and there is no reflection. then prime, paint, and clear it.

 

I bought a work truck grille shelle through Parts/Service from here on the forum. It was 180.00 shipped to my door. Maybe when you are searching try using the term "work truck" or w/t. Thats what its reffered as.

 

i just bought one for 45

 

did you but the one i suggested on craigslist? i think they had the black one or the chrome one

 

No worries, im **** about everything in life. I wanted a new 1 and thats what i got. New they generally run about 265.00 so i was MORE than happy with what i paid.

 

i saw a slightly used one in my town for $100 but im sure i could bargain it to a lower price

 

yea i got the chrome one. talked him down 10 bucks. im picking it up tomorrow. its pretty much new nothing wrong with it. im going to make a video of the process of sanding it and painting it and put it up for everyone

 

what was the wrong with the black grill. wouldnt it be easier to paint that one?
are you going to paint the bumpers body color too because i want to do the same for my truck. if i see that its not a hard process, ill do it myself. the bumpers would probably be a lot harder because they are stronger chrome than the grill. i think the chrome on the grill just peels off.

 

Paint your chrome one. It will sand off.
