It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But it’s different. Took a bit of modification for the camera and sprayer but I think it came out alright. My stock one is getting repainted after 40k miles of rock chips so it will be good as new when I decide to swap back. For now. I’m happy with being “different”

Dope!

Did your 360 cam line up right or will it need realignment?

Tabs on the camera bracket flush against the back?

You're a pioneer and I hope mine turns out as well!

Please report back after the painted grille has been back on your truck for awhile. My body shop talked me out of painting it because they didn't think it would be more durable than the stock paint.

It was already painted. I did it shortly after taking delivery. So about 1.5 years and 40k miles. It did really well! Couple good rock chips but day to day it held up great. Plastic took a little extra prep. But it can totally be done. I’m not a painter and can tell
You it’s doable🤙🏼

Take it to Line-x and have it sprayed. That's my plan if I ever feel the need.
