Has anyone removed these grill inserts?

Looks great man! What did you use to paint them?

Thanks! Matte black spray paint and matte clear coat spray. The inserts are really well made and very secure!

Did you have to prep the inserts or did you just spray the matt black right over the chrome?

I prepped them by lightly sanding with 280 grit paper. Wiped down clean with thinner and then 4 coats of each paint. I do wish they were a little darker. The paint turned out good tho!!

Hi, do you happen to have a picture of what the truck looked like with everything else black except those chrome inserts? I have a laramie with the sport appearance package so my grille is all black except the ram badge. Im kind of trying to keep/ add some chrome/ silver accents. Cant seem to find a photo of an all black truck with just the chrome grille inserts. I worry that them being a snap on piece will make them too thick for what im trying to do and wont look right with everything else black?

Do these fit over the bighorn slots? I’m looking to swap the grill on my bighorn for a laramie type and this might be my best route. TIA.
