Those door panels look familiar.

Any questions? just ask! and Thanks

I do have one. I've been looking for a grille like yours. ( the one that spells RAM across it with the three amber lights). Which brand did you wind up with, and is it good? I'm finding a bunch on Amazon, but no known brands. I would hate to end up with cheap flimsy plastic.

The 12mm LED buttons from EBay, older genie garage door opener, holes cut buttons mounted, wires soldered from button to opener, since the genie used a 12v battery picked up a constant +12 from behind the dash soldered to genie so no battery changes. Shrink wrapped opener then velcro'd it behind HVAC control so no rattles. Oh covered all solder joints on opener with hot glue for vibration purposes. The LED lights on on accessory power so they are only on while key is in the on position.

Nice! Thanks. I may do something similar. Great idea.

I too bought mine on amazon and to be honest I forget what the brand is, I went for the most expencive one out of the bunch. Its really not a bad grill, of course a ram grill is a hell of a lot better but since I spent so much on the headlights I had to forgo spending big cash for the grill. I love it" little bit of taping , some good spraypaint,chrome stripping, and a bit of pinstriping and wala…….. a completely diferent grill. Other RAM owners don't know what to make of this truck they just stare it it. Oh!! by the way' it is plastic.

Beautiful! Thanks for the insights. I'm building my wish list, and want to get the Grille, bumpers, and lights all at the same time so I only have to do it once. But it'll take time before I can hit the purchase button

I think you and I have the same outlook on making a vehicle your own. Personally I love what you've done. I want people to look at mine and know exactly who's driving down the road, lol. I bought mine used, Brilliant Black paint, and I think black is so hard to work with, so many other folks have blacked everything out (grille, wheels, badges, etc.), but I like to pop. I've been contemplating a black/red theme, but I can't just mimic yours, defeats the purpose of originality. Yours is definitely the most unique I've seen yet.

Here are some pics working on the opener and one of the buttons. Before I put the heat to the shrink.

Thank you for the compliment its greatly appreciated!. Originally I was going to go with light blue, dark blue, white and gray accents, in stead I went with yellow orange red and chrome, their are a lot of diffirent color combo's to go with. these were the colors I did my 70 Challenger in 30 years ago. I even did my drum kit in the same colors. Wish ya the best of luck, if ya have questions? don't hesitate to write them down, I'll answer them the best I can. And keep posting pics. Here are just a couple of the transformation pics.

Switching out the cloth seats for Ram Heated/Ventilated leather seats. Still have drivers side to complete/finish.

 

[GSchwizzy]

Damn... that looks nice. Would love to do the same, but wondering what the cost was/is to do so??? Imagine not cheap.

Also, how do you get the ventilation to work? SW/FW update for that? My 16' has heated cloth, but obviously not ventilated (since they're cloth).

Well done!

You can turn on the heat/cool seats with alfaobd, check the diy section.

What kinda seats are those? My laramies are different style seats with Laramie embossed into the seat as well. But looks great keep it up

I got these seats for $1400. I put them in myself. You need the AlphaOBD and some wiring (if you don't have it) to get the heated/ventilated seats to work. Along with the buttons on the switch panel. Seats were easy to put in. The bolts are the hardest part.

I bought them and was told they were Laramie seats from a 2016 Ram.

you may have been tricked, but they look good still

the laramie have a different seat pattern, the sides are more bolstered and they should have the laramie embossed into them, ill take a pic of mine, the panda neck pillow is my gf dont judge me :/

Yeah I didn't really care. They are Ram leather seats and they look awesome. I'm happy!

Yeah I don't think so. I have a Laramie so I know what the seats look like and those aren't it.
But I'm glad you like them anyway.

Very cool. Were they from a wrecked vehicle? Guessing they'd be more if bought new... anyways, congrats. Looks professional.
