Opinions on blacking out my grille...

[Unit453]

I started to black out the grille today after a wash and wax. I used some trim tape that looks like carbon fiber and did a very entry level tape over the stock chrome piece. Then, I debadged it.

Opinions on debadging because I'm 50/50. I like the badging, then again, I think it kinda looks good black.

I also put on a new lower air dam that's larger and has brake cooling slots.

I debadged in stages.

Opinions welcome on which one looks the best.

Man, I think Dodge got it right.. But hey that's me.

I like it blacked out...but the obvious answer would be a blacked out Dmax

I like the blacked out version myself.

I say black but leave the trim ring. I like it stock though.

If you black it out, lights with black reflectors would be nice....

I've decided to leave it black.


Also thanked the UPS guy for what he left me yesterday.

I wanted something with an enclosed air box. I dont care much for open filter elements. I prefer AFE and S&B products but Volant is a good design. I like the sealed air box. It also comes as an option with a Donaldson filter, and those really cant be surpassed by anything. I opted not to spend the additional $40 and stuck with the 5 layered oiled conical filter. I just couldn't justify the extra cash for a lifetime filter, they say is good for 100k miles.

Anyways, it's got a scoop that connects to the underside of the air box to behind one of the cooling slots in the lower air dam. Pretty nifty design I think.

I may or may not have gotten it sideways in an intersection today. :hihi:

After all, we are only human! It is called discretion. And most every officer that is any good, uses it.

Personally I liked teh blacked out, but leave the R/T badge up there.

Looks good, especially black.

Agreed.

I like that too. It's the way I've been rolling around. I just used carbon fiber trim tape and it looks pretty good actually. I need to have it repainted though.
