Not fully yet. I just threw a quick coat of paint on it. Was getting antsy about how it was going to look on my truck. Couple little things to do it and then I'm going to paint match it to my truck.

I think your painting looks good, but I think the question arose due to the mesh portion of the grill. You can clearly see all the component behind the grill. What did you use for the mesh? Is it just the angle of the picture? Maybe a tighter mesh would help limit visibility through the grill?

The mesh was just something quick and cheap that I had picked up at Home Depot while I was there. I kinda like seeing through it but yes you're right about it being extra visible. Guess I really didn't look that hard.

Still looking around for mesh so any suggestions would be nice

Not sure of any mesh suggestions, but if that's what you like... Rock it.

I think it would be cool if you could put something behind there and maybe give it a design. Like some slats with a big ram logo. I would think you wouldn't want something solid to ensure airflow to the radiator.

I'm a fan of the factory sport grill.... more so the 09-12 style like my truck because I like that the grill inserts are recessed compared to the 13+. However I do got to say that the limited grill done up like a sport grill looks really sharp!.

You beat me to it! I been thinking about this for a while but I can't can't find that grille for the price I want. Guess the dealership will get my money after all. Well done.
