    Has anyone ever considered painting or actually painted the parking sensors on the rear bumper end caps to color match their trucks paint color or am I the only crazy one here even considering it? Will this effect the operation of the sensors? I know aftermarket ones can be painted, just wasn't sure on these factory ones since all of them are black and unpainted on the trucks that come with the P&T package or on the Limited and Pros.

    EDIT: or maybe even someone Plastidiped them?

    I would try putting a couple post-its on it to try to simulate this...plasti-dip seems too thick. But in all honesty, I would say no. You'll either defect them, or limit their sonar range.

    Thats kinda my concern also. I could try plastidip and see how it works. At least it would be reversible.
