Default Color matched grille for 2008

So I am looking to get a black grille to replace my chrome grille that came with truck. I can find tons fitting 2003 to 2007 but none for 2008+.

Does anyone know if the 2003 to 2007 grille can be made to fit a 2008? If not does anyone have any experience getting chrome painted? Not sure if that is even possible.

Any input is appreciated

Thanks!!!

That is exactly what I am looking to do. What did that cost you?

Can anyone confirm either way if a grille from a 2003 through 2007 will or will not fit a 2008?

They look the same, just not sure about the mounting tabs

Any good paint shop can do this for you call your local shops.

call the dealership and ask them about the grille fitment. If you call around and talk to the right person youll get all your answers but beware if you blacked the lamps you definatly gotta upgrade your bulbs

i got the grille blacked out , all lights blacked out , roof racks match painted , rear view mirror backing matched painted, the chrome on the liscense plate area blacked all for 300. killer deal. hes my friend.

If you look closely at the pic look at the roof racks and rear view mirror backings.

i took all the chrome off !!!
