Front grill swap

[Accountant]

This is fascia on the Rebel.


FYI - The red line is 5 1/4” in height.

Thanks for being a second set of eyes!

Yes the dealer cancelled the order is is looking for a black or ready to paint grille for the Laramie.

This is where I see the potential problem. The fascia under the headlight seems to have slightly less material on the Rebel so the Laramie fascia may also need to be trimmed. I think. I haven’t been able to see a 2019 Rebel in person.

Dang, I think you're right. It's hard to tell just by looking at picture though. Sounds like you need to order the fascia

But then you'll have another gap between the fascia and bumper.

Yes, but that's because the Rebel bumper must sit higher than ours (with the Rebel grill being shorter). It will just give you small gap in pic I posted earlier.

Haha! Yes that’s true! And I have fender flares too that won’t match up and need to be trimmed unless I get those from the Rebel as well lol!

Can't stop. Won't stop! haha.

You could just take the flares off as a temporary measure. I might plasti dip mine black this weekend to see how they look. Doing the chrome bumpers this weekend for sure.

My plan now is to install textured black header appliqué and color matched grill with black RAM letters.

Thought about color match appliqué but I don’t want to worry about paint chips and since I swapped to black hood emblem, I like the look of the Rebel with the black appliqué.

Appliqué and grill have been ordered. Parts Dealer will paint match the grill then ship it to me. Probably cheaper locally for the paint but the parts guy at Avondale did a TON of leg work on this project so I ordered through him.

So you have to order the whole set? Can't just get the gloss black center piece?

Ordered these tow mirror covers on eBay. Have no clue if they will fit but I'm willing to be the guinea pig lol. If they cover most of the chrome I'll be happy.
