I was actually surprised how well the colors matched. It'll stay like this until I get around to painting the whole truck, then it'll be colormatched

Getting rid of the chrome is always a move in the right direction IMO.

How about plasti dipping one, seeing how you like it, then peeling it off. Then you can get the idea of how it would look without the commitment of pc or paint.

I like the black grill. It gives it that Sport Ram Look. My truck is green metallic and has the same color grill and bumpers. I like that look a lot. Blacked out will be awesome on your truck. It is always up to you on the ideas and projects. Go with what you like.

Thanks bud. I'm gonna pd the rear bumper and see how I like the satin against the gloss. Might end up picking up some OEM gloss to use for them the covers and inserts for the front.
I still need to pull off the molding down the side and give her a good clay
