    Do the torx first then start at 1 end and pop a few then jam a rag in so they dont re engage. The rest is easy from there

    Is it at Boch? If so they have done so many of them they have it down to a science. I've talked to them before (they buy parts off of us). Takes them about 1.5 day start to finish. One guy on it the whole time and a second guy helps in the middle half of it to help split and to reassemble it.

    for whoever wanted to dip their wheels as mentioned before remove any flakey stuff first. plasti dip leaves a textured finish so if you have pitting it'll camoflage it

    I did the quick connect as well but I went back a second time because I am ocd and wanted them to flash when I unlocked the truck.

    I was in the same boat I had it that way for a while and then it was eating at me that it could be done so I couldn't resist and fixed it so it did.

    i had originally dipped all my emblems black, rear bumper, and grill surround. i didn't care for how hard it was to clean all the dirt out of the emblems so i shaved them off now nice and easy to clean. i liked the look of the sport with the color matched grill so off came the black and on went the white. then i didn't like the black bumper so i stripped off the black dip in under 5 minutes, taped, and on went the white. do it on a sunny warm day if it's cool and damp it takes longer to dry, it just doesn't work as well i found.
