These all look really good. Been debating making this switch. Not 100% sure I want to tape on RAM.

Yes these are the letter spacers. Just have to figure out what is what. Color or chrome. Some look like they are paint matched

I’ll be taking a shot in the dark and buying on to see what I get. I’m going to try the chrome/black see what I get

I have to go to the dealer soon and will ask the parts dept, unless you get yours first :)

Edit: Looks like other than finish, there are 3 without the bottom tab (slightly different edge contours), and the 3 with different variations of the tab.

Believe we want the backing plate that goes with this...

Yeah all the letter slots are the same on all. It just adds the tabs for the 360 view camera etc.

I ordered that “spacer” last night and it shipped today. I’ll update when I receive it. I’m thinking of color matching the grill. Everything is still up in the air tho lol

When looking at it. There are clips or bolts with plates holding it on. So you will have to figure something out. I’m going to throw a couple ideas at it and see which one I like

Keep me informed of the turn out. I’m interested in how you get it all set up. Did you decide if you was going to color match the entire thing.

I’m keeping my truck black and chrome. I’m going to color match the grill and the letter spacer but the actual Ram letters will be chrome.

How many screws? See the hardware listed... thinking the smaller ones in the diagram?

The extruded pieces in red look like a normal self screw tap place. There is 3. 3” from backside of extrusion to the very far back of the spacer.

The ones circled in blue show through in the front. Don’t know if these come in to play but something to look at.

The extruded pieces in red look like a normal sled screw tap place. There is 3. 3” from backside of extrusion to the very far back of the spacer.

Taking a closer look. If the blue holes line up with the slats they are most likely riveted to the Grille
