    Excellent- thank you both for this-
    Will order later today.

    Amazon shows "frequently ordered together" a Toyota clear coat "paint pen"- anybody use this on top of the quicksand?

    Yes you do. I was on the fence but pulled the trigger anyway. Super happy with it and I’ve only had it a week

    I thought that was the truck AEV made? Not Chevy. Either way, love that truck. Not a fan of bed racks. I’d rather have a shell with roof rack.

    a lot
    Looks awesome!

    Glad I could help. The AAL was the PITA for me being by myself so that's why I really focused on it.

    Give it a few hundred miles and the tightness of the springs will loosen up and you'll really love the ride especially going over dips.

    This truck has the best look ever! Not overdone in the least. It looks perfect to the point where I may have to run this by my wife and I swore I would never do any mods.....

    I didn't dislike the chrome badging, but saw a few trucks with all the badges removed and thought it looked really good.

    It's reversable and you can alwsys reinstall if you decide to.

    One absolute positive is it's easier to wash, clay bar and wax without them.

    And it's visually a much cleaner look without them.

    Just my opinion.

    I'm not a fan of chrome on this color. I've blacked out the badges and bumper on mine. But like you said, the paint maintenance is more difficult.
