    I ordered mine and put them about 2 months ago. I do agree they make the front end look 1000% better. However, in all honesty, it was a pain in the butt to get all that stuff removed, take those two black pieces off, and then reassemble. If anyone attempts to do this, if you have any body shop friends, see if they can hook you up (off the clock) to do this. Seriously. It's not terrible, but you'll be cussing 10 different ways from Sunday.

    I watched the few vids I could find on Youtube on doing this install. And of course they make it seem so easy.

    But here are my end results:

    After watching the video one last time...I decided it was time to make this happen. Not hard, overall, just a little disconcerting pulling that bumper cover loose around the headlights. :eek: And, it helps if you don't drop one of the plate screws and have to fish it out of the bumper. :rofl:

    I really like the clean look of the color matched trim plates. Great work @MESO Stew!! Now, just get those black chrome delete kit parts and vent ring kits in and I can be finished!!! Until the next thing.

    awesome! Color match looks spot on. It’s going to be much easier cleaning that section and also highlights the headlights more now.:thumbsup:

    The color match is perfect. The trim plates really add a finish missing with the OEM plates - it’s a noticeable change to the appearance.

    I may have mine for sale soon. I had a bumper plate snap on me trying to do these the other day. I fixed it luckily. But The clips won’t come off without brute force for me so it’s not worth jacking my bumper plates up on both sides.

    Wonder if anyone has done a different color? Wouldn't mind doing a red on my green! In keeping with my Christmas theme.

    Love the look of these!

    Any idea when MGM will be back in stock? Or if anyone wants to sell theirs (even blems), looking to buy a set.

    My Barcelona Red. I'm going to say install was not exactly pain-free, but worth it in the end. I followed the video available in earlier posts, and took my time, so as not to break anything. Almost packed it in, but persevered and they look great. Better pic coming.

    The video in the previous threads really nailed how to do this; I think its worth it as well.
