I am putting black diamond plate bedrails on my truck so they would go real well with the toolbox!

No prob folks with black rams naturally got good taste right! Good score on that by the way...got me by about $20, though at the time i hadn't seen or knew anyone with these so I wanted as hasslefree of a return if I needed it. If you're into that look you won't be disappointed.

I like a good blackout as well and for a minute considered powdercoating the rails and perhaps the steps as well but decided that for now I like the contrast. I dig your ride too...a white ram when done right is my second best color scheme especially with a lift.

blackmamba, you forgot to mention the clips are a PITA for the new grille!!! lol, I don't know about you but they wouldn't just slide on like the instructions indicated. Nothing my Big F'in Hammer couldnt fix though All in all I really like it. Havent seen a Ram around here with this grille so it's unique. The material is really solid and good quality like you said, I was pretty surprised. I had tried the guttah grille earlier and it just wasnt working for me but this is what I needed. Here's a couple pics. Excuse the red color on the pics, the damn fire lane curb was reflecting all over my grille & emblem LOL, looks so much better in person. I'll end up getting some better ones later on. This was right after I installed it. Also put the hemi emblem on, not sure if I am gunna keep it there or not.

Looks sick as hell! Interesting idea with the hemi logo i may have to consider something similar. Hell yeah the clips were a PITA my thumbs still hate me for that day...but we all got our dues to pay The price of vanity we have for our trucks can be a real b***h sometimes but in the end its always worth it . BTW I just flew in to Tampa a couple of hours ago but Im still on Cali time so just hanging around the forum. Now we got 2 black rams with speed grills prowling around
