Default Sport grille Canada vs US trucks

im getting rid of my 08 GC SRT8 to get a Ram sport...I noticed that the Canadian trucks come with the body color grille in the Sport trim but the US trucks do not...seems strange

It is very strange. So strange in fact that most Sport owners are ordering color matched grilles to swap them out ourselves. It only takes 20 minutes to do, but it's $220 odd dollars I could have spent on some other mod.

Oh, here's my Bright Silver now that it's got the color grille. Oh, and what's a GC? Is that the Charger?

ya it does! but mine came with it. I'd rather have the lifetime warranty that you guys down south got rather than the colour matched grille.

Well yes, when comparing that, I would have much rather paid $220 for the grille.

Sorry folks but I have to disagree on the body colored grill. Personally I think the chrome grill is just the right amount to offset the solid color. Additionally I think it depends on the color of the truck. I like the black, inferno red and silver with the chrome grill where the blue looks good with the body color grill. Just my .02
