The new 2014 GC Altitude just release has glossy black grill rings that come stock with it. Will those rings fit a 2014 GC SRT grill? If so....does anyone know what the part #'s? Are there individual part #'s for each ring?
they fit...but according to srt_hmi here on the forums they are $350....LOL. The oem chroime rings are like $85 and can be painted for less than $75-100 through forum vendor scotts paint UR50slo@aol.com
^ lol well they are considered platinum I think. Definitely not black so I wasn't being very attentive. Not even sure why they made them in this color.
My price is $235 plus tax. Supposedly these only come in chrome and the lovley color show in the picture, I believe they call that primer.. wtf? Lol
Next Altitude part on it's way is the rear Jeep letters in black. They are on backorder. They aren't cheap either.
I decided to just pop out my chrome rings and took them to my guy to black glossy vinyl all of them....$100. The rings came out fairly easy but the last two were a BI@TCH!! I'll post pics once I get them back this week.
I'm supposed to take all the rings out of mine before I deliver it to be vinyl wrapped, but I'm seriously dreading it based on how hard one of them was to get out. I wonder how much more $ they will charge to just keep them on and trim around it carefully... ugh.
Ok guys...I need your help here. I'm in northern NJ and I had popped off my chrome rings over the weekend and took them to my guy who does all my cars window tints, tail lights, etc.... I dropped off the rings on Monday and I called him today cause I haven't heard from him and he then tells me he can't wrap them with the glossy black vinyl cause apparently he said the one side doesn't want to stay or some crap like that. Does anyone know someone in NJ that can do this for me. I don't want to paint because I drive a decent amount and get little rocks flying up and paint just won't work. I'll be seeing a bunch of chrome specks though the paint before ya know it. Any other ideas or suggestions also welcome. Thanks.
OK, bad news from the world of Mopar. We emailed Mopar Specifying about the part number for the Black Altitude Grill Rings and they gave us this response. "Ring kit 68241344AA is used for paint to match, thank you for contacting MOPAR specifying."<tt>
</tt>So my is guess Mopar wants people to get the more expensive "Platinum" version of the grill rings and then pay to have them painted the color they want.<tt> :banghead:
That's horrible news. I can't imagine why they would do this as it seems it would be more costly for them but i digress...hopefully it turns out differently....
