    No. I only heard it when I was leaning on the fender installing the electronics last week. Sounded like metal on plastic, which is what it was.

    Looks sweet

    How much did this cost you? I had the roof on mine done a few months ago for 400$ and when I called the same place back they want $500 and change for the hood saying it's more complex....

    But it's less material than the hood.

    Just a thought but while rattle cans might be a pain in the butt you usually end up with a more satisfactory result, in my experience anyway.

    Oh absolutely, but thankfully I just need to touch up a couple of edges so I'm gonna leave them bolted on for it.

    Meh. Didn’t have fishing line and the dental floss I have is made out of cotton. I was careful and the towel helped. Good as new

    This one leaves white hair everywhere, but luckily it isn’t “sticky” so I can open the doors and blow it out with a leaf blower :rofl:

    Thanks!

    Ain't that the truth. Running boards were just the beginning. Have some all-weather mats arriving today, then the "bigger" mods are in queue. Replace tweeters and speakers, build the auto-lock mechanism for the tailgate, install the front-view camera on order. The only saving grace so far is that Meso has been out of stock with a lot of 3rd gen items lately....

    In the future, you could just run a piece of fishing line behind the badge, comes right off with no risk to the paint:)

    What the name or brand of the hood struts some of you guys use that are considered "no drill" or whatever? Not talking about Redline ones.

    Is it Sokie Tech?

    What amber lights did you get for the non-pro grille? Was that a custom mounting job due to no honeycombs?

    But it's a helluva lot easier to do the hood.
