Grille Options for a 2009 1500

[Chewie4299]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking here on and off for a while since I picked up my 2009 1500 reg cab 4x4 hemi in October of last year as a certified pre-owned vehicle.

I've been hammering away the miles for work and am already at 73k. Since I travel all over New England so much I've hesitated to make any significant changes aside from a hefty helping of plastic dip to eliminate all chrome trim and badges. I've done my 20" wheels in anthracite gray, side steps and emblems black and grille two toned between both the gray (surround) and black (honeycomb).

Now, however, I'm not going to be travelling as much and the plastidip on the grille has taken a beating. I want to replace the grille with something all black but just about every option I find is just a replacement for the honeycomb part and most require cutting.

What I want is a complete grille assembly in black since I don't want the chrome surround. I'm flexible on the style but the only option I find is a black plastic replacement from Spec D.

I've read that the fit and finish is commensurate with its $160 price.

I've searched and searched on here and all over Google but I find very little.

Am I out of luck on this? I feel like this should be pretty easy to find.

Thanks for any assistance.
