Social experiment with the front header applique. Ivory 3coat laramie, we all know the chrome look. Plasti dip black and just received my "ready to paint" applique from Josh @ avondale. Have not received ivory match paint so that pic will come later.

Still debating on the black RAM letters for the grille that I received yesterday. And still waiting on ivory mirror covers.

I like the contrast of black/white. Cool that you are experimenting with this.

You are also lucky to have the power folding mirrors since you can also get color matched or textured black OEM covers.

My hat off to you Accountant....almost finished one side of the grille removal but decided to abort mission. Way to involved for me.

Yeah that front fascia piece is a *****. To remove it feels like it's on the verge of breaking. Don't know why FCA designed it like that.

Sad thing is....I kind of like the black better. Any opinion on the three. (Chrome, black, ivory)

I like the white. Maybe get the white decal letters for your hood badge on eBay.
