    As far as I know they are just beginning the process for the tune on a MT. The AT has been done and has a couple of versions.

    Do you have any install pics? I was just thinking about that section the other day

    Edit: nevermind. I just noticed them on your truck. I don’t know why I didn’t notice them before. That’s interesting

    They are meant to blend in and not be noticeable. A subtle change that helps define the headlight lines and make them look more aggressive IMO

    I do not, and I can not remember if @mesojdm offered them to any one else. If he did it was a limited number. Lol

    What would these run to make a Barcelona Red set? Have you had these from the very beginning?

    I’m shocked I never noticed this until now.

    I made them when I did the Quad Retro. I did the same mod on my last 2nd gen(it has a similar blank panel below the light). The black panel does nothing, covers nothing, and has fake vents. USELESS. So I made it work in my favor.
    No I have not offered them. 1-Off like most my parts.

    If you're talking about some small DRL LEDS.. that's possible. But IMO would look too tacky/busy with the headlight DRL's too. If you are wanting something else like a spot/fog light....NO it is not possible. There is no clearance behind the panel.. it would hit the headlight housing.

    Stared assembly on the rack today. Got it all tacked up with the TIG. The bars are PERFECTLY level and squared up. A little tricky since the side panels curve with the roof. Turning out sweet..cant wait to powdercoat it and light it up. Just to give you an idea of how low profile it is... the bars sit exactly even with the top of the shark fin.
    With no exposed side bolts, and it sitting down in the channel, it really gives a steamlined and "molded" look to the truck.

    Was going to go with 1X2" bars but after looking at them they seemed wayy too bulky and overkill. Settled on 3/4"X1.5" 16Ga and looks way better.With 7 supports it will be more than sturdy enough.
