    Just ordered a set of Inferno. Watched the bumper removal video and it looks like the bumper doesn't need to be completely removed but just pulled down a bit to expose the two Philips head screws. Looks super easy. Can't wait!

    I don't think it will be an issue. If anything it could be a bit tight getting the grill off but again it looks like there's room to go up and out like the grill requires for removal. I'm going to give it a try

    Just be sure to put tape on the grill area where it might hit the bar just in case. Hate to see the paint or grill get scratched up.

    @mesojdm how does the raw match to the normal black already on the truck. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the grooved bug trapper.

    Not sure how I feel about them yet as I'm used to the old look. Almost looks plain to me. But then again it's because I'm so focused on the plate. But on the flip side it made my headlights pop more. I feel it makes my headlights look more like "angry eyes" in which case I think looks badass. So case in point it's not to accent the plates but instead meant to accent the lights. Thanks Meso for the newest addition to my MESO MODS.

    Also, swapping these was not too bad of a job considering I just swapped headlights a month ago. Undid the fender bolts and loosened the bumper to access the two retaining screws. No need to pull out headlights.

    Was too tight to fit anything in there or behind the plate so it would have to protrude out somehow. I personally think it would compete too much with the DRL. But...maybe for someone without DRLs this would be a thoughtful place to put something.

    You’re the first to post pics up:) and I really like it! It makes the BHLM stand out even more. If you wanted to experiment with colors, a small piece of black vinyl over it would give you a good idea if you wanted black trim plates. I personally love the color matched.

    I haven’t really held them up but the raw plates have a little sheen to them. Normal what you’d expect with raw abs plastic

    True true. I do have matte black vinyl that I can experiment with later. Gonna let the paint dry more first though.
