Ok, so I've had this truck for a while... well my dad has...
Over the years since we've had it, it's been stolen twice, was a victim of a hit an run, and other stuff...

So now since I'm the main driver of it, I want to fix up the exterior at a decent price. Since I don't want to waste too much money I figure that ima have to buy most of the parts and install em my self and what not...

So, my question: Where can I find cheap front stock bumpers, fenders (L & R), and billet grille?
I think that i have a friend that can hook me up with a partial paint job so I'll have that covered...

Yea there's a few... I haven't gone though... I kinda wanted to buy new parts though because I heard that sometimes they're cheaper than going to a junk yard at times...

Also there might be a good chance that there are no good dodges in the few that I'm around...

3rdstrikePerformance.com is a great start. But for future reference you will never find the words cheap and OEM in the same sentence. If you want cheap eBay is full of crap, if you want quality buy from your local dealer or buy from the vendors on the right side of the page, most will give 10%+ discount and have great stuff. I found out the hard way myself.

I'm converting my 2008 laramie to an SRT10 body and the word cheap is nowhere in sight...good luck bro and try not to let it become an addiction, as for me.....I'm screwed. :pp:

check out car-part.com. It list salvage yards all over the country, and you can search just for your area.

Junkyards or our vendor 3rd strike. He hooked me up with an OEM bumper a couple years ago after I hit a fire hydrant.

I'd think you'd have to stay fairly local to get a decent price. Shipping on large items like those is not cheap. I would personally avoid the "New Aftermarket" fenders etc. Stick with a used OE. (Material quality / fit)

I don't mind custom bumpers and such... but I really want it too look stock, and most of the time the custom parts are more expensive... so yea...
