    I was hoping someone would come out with a vinyl decal to cover the grill emblem that wouldn't interfere with the sensor. Like a Mandalorian logo or something like that.

    I love the '20 grills but I don't like the chrome color logo. Would love to swap it out but don't wanna mess with the TSS stuff reading wrong.

    Why don’t you just make the truck into what you want it to be rather than what other people perceive you to be. Do you run a poll for what kind of toilet paper you use? Stop being an indecisive butt hole. Where’s the “do whatever you want, it’s your money, who gives a damn.” Option?

    Your worried about it looking out of place, but you went and added some fake Ford Raptor replica lights in your current grille that everybody knows is fake?
    Hmmmmm.......

    Its surprisingly hard to photograph. I understand how you feel about the matte, but it was never the shiny that bothered me just the chrome. Personally, I think it balances with the headlights better. I think I may taint (haha) tint the lights too since this stuff is easy to put on take off, but I havent gotten my BRO licence in the mail yet

    Cant decide if i should go gloss tint or matte tint. The matte really looks good and inconspicuous. The gloss just tones down the chrome which is ultimately what i wanted to do. What do you folks think matte or gloss???? Help a bro out. Prefer stock over Pro. Just not a fan of the chrome T

    If you don't like it after a while, change it. No big deal really...

    I honestly think the Pro grille is the best looking grille for this truck. I have a 2018 that came with the chrome cheese grater grille and I got a Pro replica for about $150. I hate spending a lot of money on mods that don't provide any functionality so I didn't want to pay $300+ for a grille but I abhor chrome so it had to go. If I got a 2020 I definitely would have just kept that matte grey grille that they come with.

    I love the look of the pro grill, the emblem on the standard one is way too gaudy.

    Plus did you know the "raptor lights" are a regulation requirement on the Raptor (and the Humvee too) because the raptor trucks are over 7 feet wide.
