Hey guys. Ive on a 06 1500 slt. Its PXR metallic black. Im gonna paint the grille shell body color. I have two grille's, my stock one on the truck is chrome with chrome bars, the other is chrome with black textured bars. Which do you guys think i should paint? I was thinking that the black grille with the chrome bars being the only chrome on the truck would look pretty good. Also i want to paint the chrome inside my headlights. Any tips on removing the lens. I removed the lens on my dakota lights by just throwing them in the oven for a bit at low temp. Anyone done this with these lihts? Thanks.

Maybe you can help me since you have an 06.
I cant stand the reflector on the bottom of my headlights.
Is there anyway to remove them?
Rather not spend $200 or more on the 07 headlights at the stealership.

You could take them apart and paint them red. Cant remove because of the light behind there.

I dont know how you would be able to remove them and have it look good. I thought about leaving them out but looked kinda hacked. not really finished. you could always paint over them i suppose.
