New Chrome Grille?

[Nesto1000]

So as for my first objective to restoring my dodge as it used to be before it was stolen, I've decided to do something easy. Fix/Replace my grille!

But I don't know if it can be fixed... I've attached a few photos on the damage of the grille. Would it be cheaper if I bought a new grille, or would it be cheaper if I got it re-chromed if that's even possible at all...

Prob' cheaper to buy a new or slightly used oem grille depending on location. Few on my local CL for around $30.

I have looked on CL, but I can't find someone who's selling a grille there... maybe I'm just not searching good enough...

I did post on his vendor forum, but he's talking about a white grille frame with a blue colored ram which isn't want I'm looking for. I'm still gonna stay in contact with him tho...

So I guess I've decided, new/used OEM grille...

Try ebay too.

certifit?

OMG you are awesome JJ!!
If that catalog is correct, I can get the chrome grille for 37.75+18.95 for the inserts!
So that comes out to 56.60 plus a tax of 8.25% so I can get what I want for a total of $61.27!! I think that I'll stop by Certfit sometime next week...

certifit is the **** man.

Nice! that's an awesome price for a new grille.

So when it says paint to match on the certifit in store catalog, does that mean they have it painted already or does that mean its primed and ready for paint

 

[Nesto1000]

**** I just noticed that the catalog has the inserts named as Grille Panel Insert rh and Grille Panel Insert lh.... and I just noticed what lh and rh stand for...

lol

anyways now it comes up to a total of $81.89 which still isn't too bad

and Ryan if no one gives you an answer I'll try n find out for you when I go look at em...

Yea certfit is cheaper than ebay... plus it's local so it works out even better!

As for CL... I can't find any grilles on there... I found a guy with parts and asked if he still had the grille but I haven't gotten an email reply

 

[bigbadram1500]

I think paint to match means it's prepped for paint.

it typically would have a gel coat on it, or on some of those grills - its just the raw plastic.
