For a good cause, we enjoy seeing the transformation. Are the bumpers next?

We shall see. I’m actually a fan of chrome bumpers on trucks. Thanks for the support!

That's what i enjoy about these forums, you get to see all sorts of different colour and trim combos, wheels/tire sets, customizations, emblem swaps, add-ons etc. Everyone with there own different taste. You can't like them all but you pick and choose what you do and come up with your own.
Yours will be the first body coloured matched Ram with chrome I've seen, can't wait to see the final outcome.

Unfortunately all out of stock from avondale to all dealers in my area. Only primed.
 
Yep. Ordered the ivory color match paint and clear from Josh @ avondale and going to have to order the primed header. Gonna try and paint it myself. Should be fun.

Sorry if the question was asked......if I remove my grille can the 3 pieces of the grille assembly be separated? I wanted to spray just the horizontal "stripes"/"billets" to see if I like before I fully commit.

Theoretically yes since they come in separate pieces. Problem is they have locking plastic tabs that need to be released along with screws along the perimeter of the interior.
 
Thank you! This seems like a fun project.
 
Man, now you have convinced me to move forward and get the parts to color match the grill and brow piece and leave my chrome bumper. The balance is perfect! I'm sure this will cost me $800 after parts and paint... :cry:
