Default TRX4 doesn't have chrome bumper

I bought a 09' TRX4 and I have a color matched grill with a two tone setup for the body. Silver on top with mineral gray on the bottom. Both bumpers are painted mineral gray.

I am sure to catch some heat for this but I like the chrome grille on the sport as well as the painted one now. My 04 had the painted grille and I liked it better, but the chrome one has really grown on me. Too bad I am "Photoshop challenged" because I would love to see what the 09 sport grille would look like with the honeycomb blacked out.

Hemi ROM,
That is my plan with my yellow sport. I am going to replace the chrome Lamarie inserts with either chrome bar or black honeycomb. The chrome inserts on the monochrome truck is just a tad too much bling for me.

I could not agree with you more. If you accomplish this could you please post some pics

There are not too many options available right now since this a new generation. Mopar makes both the black (SLT) and chrome bar (Lone Star). I also have to get a bug deflector. I will get the chrome deflector since they don't make one in yellow! I might would do black if I had a yellow painted grille.

Since the 09 grille does not come up with the hood, the deflector really has a different look than 02-08. They really help keep the stone damage down.

Yep. Mine has a chrome grill as well. A colored one would be nice!

I think the chrome grill looks okay, but I think it would look better with a body colored surround and chrome inserts.

I have the sport package with the body colored grill but as Finc mentioned, mine is Canadian - its odd that they'd have 2 different packages.
