Chrome grille cover/louver

[RamHemi18]

Hello everyone!
New to the forum here. Just picked up a new to me 2018 ram 1500 5.7 hemi Big Horn. So far I love this truck! The other day I noticed I was missing a chrome piece from my grille. I'm not sure what they are called, I called it a louver or a cover. I attached a picture below of a grille just like mine. I am missing the Drivers side bottom right cover/louver. Can you purchase these separate or does the whole grille need to be replaced? I tried looking online but I couldn't find anything, so either they're not available or I am calling them the wrong thing. Thank you in advance!

The grill inserts. You would have to purchase the whole set to replace the one missing. From what I've seen they don't sell the individual chrome piece for the inserts.

bummer, I feel like I'm almost better off just going to the junk yard to find a used one or something. I can't seem to find just the inserts, If I do they're for the honeycomb grille...Or pull the one off on the passenger side bottom to even them up

Is this the style that you have ?

I had to purchase a whole grille surround & inserts just to get the inserts that i wanted

Your best solution would be to find a Ram that had been in an accident, that has that insert intact

The insert are real easy to change out

there are grilles in your area

Pretty close GT. Mine is like that but completely chrome. I was thinking I'd have to do a salvage yard dive to find a truck with a grille intact. Probably something with a side impact

I just copied the first Chrome inserts that i could find
I did not pay attention the Grille Surround as it is called

My Ram came with everything chromed



I am not a fan of chrome, so i asked the dealer that i ordered through if they would mind sending me a couple of different grilles to look at.
Then i bought one that had a paintable surround & black mesh.
Then i made one grille out of 2 styles

Check offer up or mecari, even Craigslist if you haven’t. I swapped my honeycomb grille for the chrome too.
checked eBay for ya, didn’t find anything besides entire grills for $200.

car-part.com had a few grilles at local dismantling yards fairly close to his location

GT the delmonico red truck in your first picture is exactly like my truck. Also the pick of the insert is exactly what id be looking for. I can't seem to find those in my searches. I might just have to go to a junk yard and see what's available. Even used it's hard to find one under $200

I had ordered a RED truck from the factory & i got the Delmonico Red
So i drove home & picked up a few parts, including a Sport Bumper that i had ordered.
I then drove to an Auto Body Shop & told them that i wanted a complete repaint & the Sport Bumper put on it

Mine had the chrome inserts too, they're one piece for each side by the way.
Ugly as **** imo since it was the only bit of chrome on my truck, so I blacked mine out with Plastic dip at first then I made my own inserts out of powder coated aluminum woven wire mesh, so much cleaner and sportier now.

I swapped my chrome grill for a honeycomb. I still have the chrome one.

Whole grill or just the inserts? I really just need the inserts.
