    Those are actually the factory chrome vent rings. Removed, sanded with fine grit sandpaper and very fine steel wool. Cleaned to remove any dust and finger/hand oils. Applied 3 light coats of Chevy orange engine spray paint. Replaced rings and used a soldering iron to secure them from behind using a light plastic.

    Just received my pro grille, camera bracket, and raptor lights. Will be spending the afternoon getting it installed. Also the American flag decals will be going on the front doors today!

    And this is why I love MESO. I value my time... Also I have a reasonable understanding of what I'm good at, and detailed finishing work like this are not it ;)

    little bit of here and a little bit of that...
    yes, the middle black connector on the JBL amp, I used “posi taps” to tap into the LEFT rear speakers. The white is positive, and the black wire is negative, (please double check before splicing!) I did mono so I just tapped both positive-and negative wires from my amp harness (high powered) into the left rear. The wires above the left rear speakers are the RIGHT rear speakers, pink with green stripe? I have the wire diagram on my computer for the jbl amp. The blue turn on wire I routed it to the front of my vehicle driver side and posi tapped it to an existing custom camera battery charging wire, or you can- (just connect to a accessorie wire that turns off and on when you start/off your vehicle. Cigarette lighter e.t.c.) the ground wire, i routed to the passenger side panel on the bottom and connected there. I would like to update that the JBL Basspro Nano Does NOT fit under the seat, so I will have to figure out the location for it. If you want more information about the factory jbl amp wiring, I could send a photo to you later.

    If not for @MESO step by step instruction video on vent ring removal, I too would not have tackled this.

    It's a USB-LED light that lights up the tray at night. :thumbsup:.. I've since flipped the light to shine down. Super helpful when fumbling for a fob.

    I’m thinking of getting these off eBay cause my passenger side stock lights cracked. How is the quality vs oem and bulb fitment ?

    The fitment was better than I expected to be. No issues with installation.

    No more shiny cheese grater with derped bezel. I like the 2020 grille better than the 2019. If I had a PRO I'd keep the grille - PRO grilles are cool looking, but I'm happy with this one.

    Have LOC with Kenwood sub and amp. I'm a victim of bass roll off. Want an aftermarket head unit that'll still utilize most or all of the factory abilities, but offer better audio. I'm an Android phone user if that makes any difference. Suggestions? Navigation can be done on my phone, and watching a movie is low on my list. Vehicle controls and audio #1+2
