Where to buy a grill that is unpainted?

I don't want a completely black/painted grille like the sport model has.

I am looking for a grille that is a dark gray color. I have seen them on the basic model rams and like them better than the black ones.

Am I making sense?

If you know what I'm talking about, do you have a pic of it on a truck?

I know the ones you mean, not sure where to get them though. You can get new black ones on ebay real cheap, just have to paint it up.

LMC is a great place to deal with. I have their cowl induction hood and the fit and finish are close to factory.

I bought one from pershingauto on Ebay. Description said it is gray/black. I'll update when I get it. They price matched a lower price and their email replys were almost instantaneous.

I also bought the one piece clear headlights this morning. I hope they are good quality. From the pic, they look really good.

Edit: the one piece clear headlights that have the turn signal housing all made together.

How did the purchase work out? The the grille close to the ST argent color? Also are the headlights well made?

Thanks.

I have some one piece headlights i got off ebay. They have black plastic on the inside. They look very nice on the truck, kind of mean or sinister. They also improve the lighting very well. Definatly a good upgrade. They were not very difficult to install either. The hardest part is getting the old headlights out, but thats not even that hard. The only thing with the one piece lights are they cant be adjusted after installed, only while out of truck and, the drivers side turn signal needed some modification to fit. Fairly simple and straight forward though.

Here are some pics. The grille is a metallic grey color. I bought the grille and upper/lower bumper plastic from pershing.

I bought the headlights from a place on ebay. I like the headlights but they aren't adjustable. I didn't really need to adjust them.....the light is about where I like it.

Thinking of making my whole front end red to look like a sport model. Where can I get a red grille and red bumper that will match without paying dealer prices?

Jason looked like you could get all that stuff from LMC. Not sure though. You would have to have everything painted to match, dont think it comes in factory colors.

Those headlights are adjustable. There is a screw on the back of them to adjust the reflector.
