View Full Version : Is it possible to get a red grille? Damn Dirty Ape 04-09-2008, 12:05 PM I've decided that I want a body-color grille for my truck. The one on there is chrome color now. Are they available prepainted from dodge or must I order the paint? I'm hoping they can be gotten pre-painted , but the dealer can't tell me for sure. Frenchy 04-09-2008, 12:56 PM Why not just strip the chrome off the one you have now, and paint that one??? [&:] A red painted grille goes for 385 dollars from the dealer... SilverGhost1 04-09-2008, 04:24 PM I think you can get one prepainted. I think I remember seeing it in the parts catalog I have. Damn Dirty Ape 04-09-2008, 04:31 PM ahh I'd just rather get it and bolt on. That and then get some nightrunner headlights.

I'm in Illinois and would want the center section red as well (where you have it blacked out. The NR headlights are the dogs balls though.

I checked online at makeitmoparparts.com... looks like they aren't taking orders online anymore. Frenchy 04-09-2008, 06:40 PM Thanks, I painted the center part myself, and relocated the Dodge emblem to the top of the grille... The relocation process took forever... Mainly due to sanding all the old paint off, anf fiberglassing and bondoing the dang thing... dakchick06 04-09-2008, 06:57 PM I looked around for a new painted one too. $300+ is a little ridiculous. I lucked out and got one painted from another forum member.You're better off taking it somewhere to be painted or paint it yourself.

Soapy 04-11-2008, 11:11 AM I had the front grille and silver parts above the headlights painted on my 2008 TRX4. With the black headlights it looks real sharp but the body shop charged me $300. If you take the parts off yourself it would save a bunch of money.

[&:] Damn Dirty Ape 04-11-2008, 05:58 PM I mean it would be one thing if my bumpers had chrome accents or highlights in them, but that grille and headlight surrounds are only things. Come on , the TRX4 is supposed to be this rugged looking vehicle and all, chrome? bah.
