Message:
See the ground affects on this truck? Is this, or anything similar, available for my CC sport plus? I found this pic on Dodge's Website. Is this how the RT comes?



I have been searching for ground affects for a while now and this is the only thing I have found.

Im not too fond of the molded side bars or the tubular ones either. If anybody can give me info on how to order this I would greatly appreciate it!

That particular package you have pictured can be ordered through your local Dodge dealer.

Is it a different bumper or is the bottom part an add-on?

Now, this one is the Cervins (or something like that) Sniper Kit, but only available for the RC I think. The CC and QC are supposed to come later, even though a QC is pictured.

I'm not exactly sure, but it looks to me as if the bottom part of the bumper is the same on the one you have pictured (called the Stampede Package I believe). I think they just add those two "chin" pieces.

If that is the kit that costs $3k painted, they must be on crack, where's the custom grille and headlights pictured in their artists rendering of kit? I understand not everything makes it from paper to production but for over $2k I would have expected those parts in their as well. The bottom opening in bumper does not match well with the factory grille at all the way it is shaped IMO. Oh, well glad I don't have a 2wd and had been holding out for this kit after all the hype lol.

Yeah, if that Sniper Kit is going to be ~$3K then I would have to say, too much. If it were actually competitively priced I think it would be a pretty cool aquisition. Perhaps the lower opening would look better with one of the aftermarked grills that only has two openings, or the one that has one big opening.
I couldn't find the one big opening, but here's an example of a two-opening type grill.



I actually think it looks pretty good the way it is. Those cheap-o headlight covers can take a hike though. Clear corners would more than suffice.

The side exit exhaust is pretty slick. That's what I have on my QC currently, minus the integration into any sort of body kit. Just a pipe exiting before the rear-wheel is what I have. I think this kit would look good with dual-exhaust exiting through holes in the rolepan, such as the one below.

I like that grille and agree it would compliment the Cervini kit better but you shouldnt have to buy an aftermarket grille shell for the money kit costs. Is it that the SS grille shell that comes with the inserts in a package anyone know? I think the price was less than $200 for the kit at truckperformance.com but they have no pics so I thought it was just a stock grille shell ready for paint. I might get that at the same time i get the reflexxion hood and have them painted together with my SS gen 2 bumper valance in the spring for the wives Dak.

Yeah, it's a shame that you can't just buy pieces of that Sniper Kit cause the side and rear moldings look really cool.

As for that two-holed grill, I just found that pic on a website full of truck pics, no prices, specs or anything.

I'd like that grille if it's cheaper than the stillen (one big opening) with billet I might get it.

I believe there is also a two-holed grill out there that is cut into a left and right region, as opposed to the above pictured, upper and lower. I believe I saw it on the Kenne-Bell Quad Cab called "The Viper Sniper?" Or maybe I'm just going crazy. I have definitely seen one on a truck (and not just in sketches like on Cervin's website). The grill with the one big hole is nice, too. Someone that's posted here before has one on an extremely good looking Yellow R/T. The said Dak also has an awesome exhaust, dual exit under the rear license plate, kind of like a Porsche Boxter.

Sorry to disappoint, but that's not my truck. I found that pic at like streetsourcemag.com.

You could look around there and try to scrounge up some info. Good luck!
