    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    We put a feeler out months ago with little interest. We might down the road but it's not high on the list at the moment.

    Where do the 4 long bolts go? Do they all go on the bottom row? or do they go on the 4 farthest outside holes?

    Are these able to with the new 2018s with the pss saefty sensors in the grill to remount them below the lettering like how the trd pro grill is? If these can accommodate the safety sensors then I’m ordering a these ASAP! Painting the back wall behind the lettering cement with a tint of black so the pop like almost 3D effect

    Nope the system would need to be disabled and the sensor removed to run our grille.

    No one that I know of has done it. I really think it's over tightening of the bolts and cold weather not just the cold.

    Has anyone or has there been a mod made to the build to include safety sensors in front grille? Or has anyone been able to add them during install with success?
    Thanks
