Black Sport Grille

[FN 2187]

Does anyone know where I can get black Sport grille inserts that will snap-on in place of the stock honeycombs? When I bought my 2014 Sport the stock grille had been replaced by the previous owner. I got a great deal on an Express grille but I want to replace the honeycombs with Sport inserts, but not in chrome. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you search the For Sale part of the forum ?

I have a 2016 sport and my stock grille was black AND chrome. I don't know that I've seen only black non-honeycomb inserts. got pictures of what you think that is?

This is the look I want.

ah.. so that grille has "chrome" accents on the slats, but it is not 100% chrome. There are swaps that happen quite a bit. Put a post in the wanted section. Costs about $50 to ship a grille, just so you have some idea what the swap might cost you

Thanks.

this is the stock sport grille. Kinda hard to see but you can see the chrome on the front of the slats.

I think the one he posted has been painted/plastidipped though and he likes the chrome-less look.

Those don't exist from factory. You'd have to trade for the sport grille and paint it yourself.

Yaaahp good eye...that’s why I said painted/Plastidipped....which is obviously DIY and not an option from the factory.

The truck with the look he likes (and the one he posted) looks to be done like that whereas yours has the oem slats from the big horns and sports......with the chrome “class tips” on each slay. I have the same inserts on my truck so I’m aware what they look like.

I think the slats looks great painted black instead of chrome but I’m not a huge plastidip fan to use it.

IMHO that's a pretty good look, but I agree with the others here and have not seen anything other than the chrome -ish tape/accent look that mine has. The bad with the chrome tape/film is that if you get a chip it has the potential to "bubble". If it's painted at least you could just repaint it?

I know they don't exist from the factory, shadowhawk. I was just wondering if anyone may have known of a shop that customizes them or something. I'm actually quite capable of painting them myself. I just need to find someone selling the inserts at a reasonable price. Thanks for your feedback.

sorry. I guess the post wasn't clear so I didn't quite know what you were asking.

to your more recent post, I haven't seen anyone doing custom work on factory grille inserts.

these are only pulled off a factory grill. Cant be bought stand-a-lone as far as I know. I got mine from ebay for $100.....install wasn't worth it. Took 6 hours and the total disassembly


of my front end..

I dipped my accents one winter, if you’re doing black dip on the slats don’t worry about masking as overspray peels off/can’t be seen.

I had the R/T honeycomb grill, but switched out the inserts from a Sport last Dec. When I did, I removed the chrome portions and had them painted white to match:

Not the greatest photo with the rain and all. But I used a product called protectdip 2.0. I like it better than plastidip. I sprayed it 4 years ago and live in northern Ontario Canada where we have brutal winters with the salt/etc thrown all over the roads. This is how it looks 4 years later

I have a sport grill on mine. I’ve been looking for the honeycomb and haven’t had any luck. I was thinking about having the chrome slats painted since I couldn’t find any. If you want to do a Insert trade I’m up for it. I can send some pics.
