Started detailing the engine bay. I ran out of CG Barebones so it will be here tomorrow. I also blacked out the center of the grill officially removing any chrome on the truck.
Looks great! What did you use to black it out?

How long you been running the plastidip? I want to kill my chrome SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad
Only for a few months on the Ram (because I’ve only had it a few months). The lower valence and grill on my wife’s 4Runner have been plastidipped for a few years now. If it chips, you can touch it up real quick.

Get your Chrome Bed Liner sprayed. either Line-X, Rhino Liner or Armor Liner or any of the other companies out there. It cost me $800 Canadian to do my front grill, front and back bumpers. I think they look awesome and they are guaranteed for life. Are deff protected from stone chips..

Well I really like @2012RAM1500RT mopar grill and tail gate emblems. I didn't really like the price as I need to do other things to the truck vs spending that much on emblems. So being really skilled with metal, I built my own! They fit like a glove! They really set the truck off. Especially with the mopar center caps on my wheels!

Thanks! Yeah after bringing all the maintenance bill to the budget and the wife it was wait or build my own. 24 bucks total minus paint which I had. So 40 bucks if you didn’t have it. The grill took some trimming, but I’m a perfectionist so it’s flush and then the tailgate took two goes, but it fit perfect.

I don't blame you. If I had the time I would have done the same. I found them online and it saved me the time I didn't have! LOL Great job, I always like things I do myself better also!
