you have a point there with the year of your truck. around 99 dodge changed the sport models with a different grill and bumper. you would think if your grill is the same as a regular chrome one why wouldnt this stuff work i remember with my 01 i couldnt buy certain things because of having a sport. for instance i wanted tow hooks. i buy them which mopar states you need to cut notches in the bumper for them to work. if you get the 100 grand...i better go find my old truck really fast lol. .
