Default 2006 Paintable Ram Grill?

Anyone know of any aftermarket paintable grills being made for the 2006 Ram yet. When I bought my truck no one had any "Sport" models so I settled. I am not a fan of chrome, but if I put a painted grill on I will be happy. I would also be willing to trade if anyone is interested in a chrome grill and has the painted one...

Why couldn't you just drop the grill off at a body shop and let them paint it to match, or whatever color you had in mind?

I am pretty sure I would have to pay for a few hours of prep work for a body shop to remove the chrome, before paint. That labor would probably add up to a new paintable grill..

Gotcha. How much is the base grill with just the gray plastic? We are talking about just the grill, right, and not the bumper, etc?

I believe he is talking about the front of the truck, the part that goes up when you pop the hood. Not just the grill slates, but the Ram cross as well, the entire front end basically, except for the bumper..

Chrome Grille << He has this
Painted << He wants it painted like this


See the Chrome area where the + goes across the front. He wants the outer chrome to pe painted like on a Sport model, not the chrome that comes on most other models.

I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to blast the chrome paint off and paint it the color of the truck. Any body shop should be able to do it. Is there a difference between the 05 and 06 grills, if not, email a vehicle recycling company, I'm sure they'd be able to find one for pretty cheap.

The 2006 grill is different from the 2002-2005 Ram. Its a different front end..

I am also interested in having my grill painted, but I really want to find a way to get the door handles painted at a reasonable expense
