Looking for 2006-2008 Front fenders, grille, upper bumper fasica, headlights and a hood.

Why you ask? I want to swap to the newer front end and replace the hood because of deep scratches and dent.

I would love to get them in silver so I dont have to do anything but any color good condition is fine.

Im in no hurry and will buy parts one piece at a time. :)

The upgrade looks good, I have heard the pieces can even be bought new and not break the bank. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hopefully Jeff will see this, he might be able to source the parts for you.

Don't you work at a dodge dealership, Aaron?

If I cant get any cheaper I will just buy from work. I would rather have them already silver ;) Paint alone will kill the project for me.

I can get the fenders for 146 each plus tax plus paint. The front upper bumper fascia 136 plus tax plus paint. Im definantly not buying the grille/headlights from work the grille would be like 250ish and the headlights I wont even mention the price

The hood doesnt really have to be changed but I would like to since its scratched and dented IMO alot. I still have to check with work to see how much paint will be but I have a feeling it will be alot.

WOW that alot. If i bought everything from the dealer including the grille it would be like 600ish plus paint. Then I would have to buy used headlights, the headlight harness and new hid bulbs.

Yeah Im going to call the junk yard we use at work. He can locate body parts painted the same color. I'll see what he can do on monday.

Anyone know what it will take to put the Laramie bumper on instead of the slt one?

the support and then the cover. 06-08 is just a cover and will slide over the chrome
