I should have thought how my luck has been when I went out and no chrome under this grill. Now of course its dark and inconpious is outta thought right now so I have two toned my grill now. Oh Well.

Checked my grill and it's not chrome underneath. My truck is a very early 2002. Benny I think yours is a 2002 also, maybe a later production date. Does anyone know if it's only the 02's or are any or all of the 03's chrome underneath?

I found out last weekend that my 2002 does NOT have chrome underneath the paint.

Found out tuesday that my 2003 is definitely not chrome underneath. I was a little disappointed.

Same here with my 2000. Kinda sucks because I was really looking forward to something a little different than everyone elses.

Might still go with painting the whole thing white to match the rest of the truck.

Mine turned black....

I tried the same thing to my old grill. I replaced my original grill with an aftermarket ALL CHROME grill off of ebay for $45 and $35 shipping. I took the oval off the center so I figured that would be where I tested it, and it turned flat black...Oh well, was looking to have a "backup" chrome grill.....

I just caught this thread and I just had to see for myself. I'm at work right now so I just ran out to the parking lot and popped the hood.
A few weeks ago while changing my fuel filter I put a small scratch on the very top of the grill which is not visible when the hood is closed. I just gave it a little scratch with my fingernail and it's chrome underneath!!
Thanks Benny2002, you just saved me a couple hundred bucks too!!
