Hey Guys,

Had the dealer order me a honeycomb grille, I specified black, they ordered one and it came in chrome :(

They tell me I cant get a black honeycomb grille for a 2011 sport. Long story short...I got mad and left after they told me I couldn't get an 09 grille, or a 12 express black grille.

How can they say this when I see them everywhere??! I asked about he RT grille, but you cant buy JUST the inserts for that and they want 600$ for the grille assembly!! The insert alone is 160$.

Im POSITIVE the 09 sports came with black honeycombs. Am I wrong? If so, what stock year has the black honeycombs that I can order JUST the insert with?

I don't believe any sports came with black honeycomb. It took me a few months to finally find some for my 12 sport. They do pop up in the classifieds from time to time.

Good Luck!

My '14 came with black honeycomb. They match the vents on the sport hood.

That's what im thinking.

I see TONS of black honeycombs (never for sale though) on trucks cruising around, and it doesn't have to be off s SPORT to fit a sport. And I thought in 09 all the grills were black honeycomb ??? With chrome being an option. So, I SHOULD be able to just buy a black honeycomb insert from dodge for ONE of the years I would think.

I cant get model years 13+ though as the grille is slightly misshapen.

Hell, id do a straight TRADE if anyone has one! (Ive got a chrome SPORT grille, the horizontal slat one)

What's the big deal shipping to Canada? Can someone in the states take delivery and just send it up to you?

Looked into it, and it says 75 bucks (more or less. 55$ grille, 25$ shipping) on the site, then im sure FEDEX will charge me another 50 for import / customs.

Im not sure if this will LOOKS the same (it appears it does) or if there's something Im missing....Id like the genuine dodge look. I suppose regardless, I could sell it if I don't like it or if its in some way inferior to the dodge one.

thanks guys,

No idea. Says he's just shipping US. I guess its too hard to drop off for shipping at UPS, FEDEX, USPS or something??

I wish you lived in my state as i have the black honeycombs on my 2012, My frame is chrome but the inserts are black and would swap you in a heartbeat my set of black honeycomb inserts for your set of chromed honeycomb inserts.

Just looked at Rockaudio. Not bad, but I don't want or need the whole frame and all. $24 for shipping to Canada where I am.

meh... think about it.

I have a friend that works in a parts dept. at one of the dodge dealerships. Get me a part # and I will see what he can come up with.

I'll take a look. Thx.

I ordered the whole frame and whatnot off Rockauto.

The inserts should come off that grille anyways, which is the only part Im gonna use. It already comes Brilliant black pearl (so it says) so itll match my truck already.

Ill have a spare grille frame, but someone in Edmonton will need one with all this ice on the roads :)

Ya... I'm here as well. For $89 complete, including shipping, I might as well just order the whole thing and remove the inserts.

Either toss the frame or keep it just incase. I hope I never need to use it. More worried about replacing the lights should I need a grill for some reason.
