Default OEM Grill

Where can I buy an OEM Grill for an 08? If I go through any dealer, all they have is the unpainted version. Trying to find one that is factory dipped? Mine was in an accident (not my fault), and I'm trying to get it replaced.

You can try a LKQ parts dealer on the Web. They might have one the color you need.

just start calling the auto recyclers and ask them for a black grill.

I have seen a lot of them on eBay where dealers swap out grills for chrome grills and sell off the new take off grills. You may find a grill that matches already painted.

I have a silver one that I prepped to bedline then the bedliner got a little smudged when I did it (windy day, leaves, you get the idea) . Let me know if you are interested. I am in Columbia.
