    I plan to remove mine one day this week. Just hasn't been a top priority but I agree. Much better without it.

    I felt it showed fingerprints way too easy and mine was uneven.

    Does anyone know if the led third brake light for the bed area can be switched out for brighter bulbs? Or are they fixed insid the housing? Also, do you have to take off the third brake light now like you do with the tundra

    I just like simple honestly. I like everything body color, not really into contrast. Even removed all the chrome emblems and the only one that went back on was the grill emblem after being stripped and painted body color.

    Ah also also plan to remove the 3rd brake light and smoke tint it from the inside to make it darker and blend in better.

    I pulled off all mine as well, but haven't made it to the grille yet. Still trying to sell my old Raptor style grill for the funds.

    So to remove the third brake light does it have to unscrew from the inside like a Tindra meaning headboard removal or does it have a snap out cap? :)

    I am really debating wrapping my whole truck with the carbon fiber look. What are your opinions?

    Personally I got MGM because I like the color and wouldn't want to cover it up. Your dash does look pretty cool though :thumbsup:

    That's awesome information! I hate how many fingerprints tend to show on those things
    I'm going to seriously think about peeling mine off.
    Thanks!
    Got any further away photos with out it?

    @Bajaxr201 It is just like how all the 2nd Gens B pillars look. Not the greatest pic, but the best I could do in the garage at the moment. 20160718_182031.jpg 20160718_182002.jpg

    Im thinking about doing the same. Do you have any pictures of what you painted? Anything I should avoid? The A/C is in front of the radiator, so there shouldn't be any issues with that right? It wasn't as noticeable with the chrome, but stands out now.
