    I searched TW and did not see anyone who had painted their lower grill cover on the 2012+ models. Since I obviously have a little too much time on my hands, I decided to color match it.... along with the fog bezels. What do ya'all think?

    Before: Just the customcargrills.com grill:

    Thanks man! the grill is the "flat black perforated SS"" grill from customcargrills.com

    The online video for installation shows how to install it, but unlike the video where they only "sandwich" the grill between the black piece and the front surround on the top of the grill and then glue to mesh to the black back piece on the bottom, I was able to sandwich the SS grill all the way around the surround. I feel it is a much more sturdy way to hold the grill in place. It just took a little more grinding on key areas of the black center piece to get it to all go back together the way it was originally assembled.
