Grill replacement

[llotton]

I have to replace the grill in my 2003 Ram. How much of a job is it and where is the best place to purchase the new one? Thanks.

The insert or whole grille facia? The whole facia is pretty straight forward should be 8mms on the perimeter of the mounting bracket iirc. Haven't removed mine but I've messed around with it in making a hood latch release (previous owner broke it), I've not gotten around to replacing it since the hood latches are the first things to go when they hit parts yards.

I'll check when I leave for work at the bracket, but its by no means complicated. My 03 is Light Almond Pearl as well.

Wherever you buy - check the reviews thoroughly as there is a lot of garbage available that doesn't really fit. OEM is incredibly expensive but off course fits perfect.

Ain't that the truth!

I have my OEM grill in my barn. Yours if you want it. Not perfect shiny, but not broken either. I don't know how well the chrome cleans up.

Also have an aftermarket that fit pretty closely, also free.

Do any of you have experience with any of the aftermarket grills available, and give me advice? Thanks Larry
