Default 2008 Sport Front-End look for a Diesel Dually

Hi,

I've got an 05 Diesel SRW with the sports package and an added hood scoop and the truck looks awesome.

I am not about to get an 08 3500 dually, and I want that sport look again. When I bought my 1st truck, it was new and from the dealer, so it was an option. The 08 I am about to buy is from a private party, so I am trying to find out where I can get the sport package for the dually, and if they don't have one, maybe just the front bumper/cover to give it that front look.

Also, since the frame around the billet grille is chromed, is it cheaper to buy that the same color as the truck, or just have it painted to match the truck?

What kind of costs can I expect?

While we're at it, have you seen any pics of 3rd gen dually's (not lifted ones) that look awesome? This will be my tow vehicle, but I still want it to look cool.

Thanks

I love the way the mega cabs look, but their poor GVWR as compared to a non mega-cab throws it out for me :-(

By the way, how much weight are those 24's rated to? Are both the rims and tires rated equal or better than the stock wheel and tires?

i think the mega cab Long Bed conversion with a leveled front end along with 22.5" standard alcoa wheels look the best. By keeping the same styling as the 18 wheeler wheels it just makes the truck look beef. Those wheels better be rated at 50,000lbs haha
