Hello I have a 2022 2500 Laramie and I'm wanting to convert all the chrome front end parts to the tradesman/power wagon trim.

I am looking for the part numbers for the grill surround parts, the top applique trim that goes below the hood and then the 3 parts above the bumper.

if anyone if able to provide those part numbers I would be greatly appreciative.

I need parts 1, 10, and 11 in the black trim that matches the tradesman/power wagon front.

thanks in advance!

It does have part numbers, but I’m not sure which is black vs paintable. I think bright means chrome?
 
I’d consider my truck (tradesman) to be matte black.
 
I agree that the trim is matte black. What I am referring to is that there is 3 part numbers for the same trim, which I assume is because there are 3 options for the trim. Chrome, Black, and Matte Black.

I'm fairly certain the matte black part number is for the paintable version and the black version is what I'm looking for. With what you are saying to me I need to order the matte black one over the black one? I'd hate to get the Matte Black one and it just be a primer (ready for primer) part. The reason I'm leading to believe the matte black part is the paintable version is just because it includes the words body color in the description.

Either way, I'm not positive and I was hoping someone would be able to confirm which one I should be getting.

Yea I see what your saying. I’m away from the truck but if nobody can confirm I’ll see what I can find for part numbers on mine.
 
I looked today, and unfortunately I was not able to see any part numbers without some disassembly.
 
I appreciate your effort either way, I’m starting to feel like I’m the only one doing it this way, the parts are almost cheaper than the vinyl
 
Yea in the long run, probably more durable as well.
 
That looks nice, unfortunately I do a ton of highway mikes and there is no way plastidip will hold up, the parts are honestly under 1k from what I can see. That’s a tiny price to pay for not having to redo this every so often. I’m probably just going to order stuff and hope for the best.
