    Are the letters removeable to be able to paint (to colour match my red)?

    Looking to pick one up at my local dealer.

    Not saying just because the grill, but if you see a normal F150 then a raptor, the average Joe will say wow that Raptor looks aggressive!

    Add a sales guy in the mix and he will say well you can have the average Taco or you can have this "TRD Pro" and scoff at the non pro peasants

    Non research guy will pick the pro

    Are you guys with PRO grills treating them with UV protectant like 303 Aerospace? I just treated all other trim on my truck. Is there any reason not to treat the plastic grill also?

    20 years from now that black plastic grille will look just the same as the rest of the 20 year old truck no matter if you spray stuff on it or not. Go to a junk yard and look at a 1980's Chevy or Ford grille. They are still in one piece and look OK.

    I've only had mine about 3 months now and I still looks as good as the day I installed it but I can see treating it with some UV protection especially if it's out in the sun all the time

    Offered my 'chrome' one for free locally, no takers. It may just get thrown away next garage cleanup.

    I really gotta invest in some of that 303. I shudder to think what my fender flares and grill will look like in a few years.

    I bought the wipes. Less than $10 on Amazon and super easy. One wipe easily did two flares. I used another for the back bumper plastic and the bed caps. One more for the front bumper insert. Fifth wipe for the dash. I think I'll hit the grill tomorrow. It's so easy to do. You do need to wipe dry/buff with a towel.

    My salesman at the Toyota dealer got mine. He didn't sell me the Taco (there weren't any manuals there), but I got a killer deal on a 2017 Highlander, so I just let him have the grille. I didn't think anyone would buy it anyway.

    Can you put a link of the wipes from Amazon. I want to treat my grill and fender flares since I live in a duplex and don't have a garage so my truck is parked outside 100% of the time. Luckily in my area we don't get a lot of sunlight 2/3 of the year.

    I just looked and I ordered my wipes from here http://www.detailedimage.com/303-M2/Aerospace-Protectant-Wipes-P659/. I thought I'd used Amazon. Sorry about that. Looking on Amazon I see lots of options for the wipes. I really like the wipes for ease of use and no chance of overspray.
