It won't beat the factory fitment, plus if you have a front camera you will have to cut out a space for it in the overlay. I would say it looks nice from 3 feet, but you can see a small amount of blac

Here are mine paint matched.

They stay in good with about half the tabs broken.. still a good bit of work to get out.

When I do my custom headlights ill buy a new set and have them painted then throw these out. I'll need my bumper painted in about a year from now anyway.077897a5638b0ef23906ec8ae53ffe91.jpg

Glad to see I’m not the only one who broke all the tabs. They are a pain in the butt to get off, I also wrapped them black, looks way better!

Very good look. Cool lightbar too, what is it?

I broke several tabs taking mine off as well... Tried wrapping them and failed. Ended up buying a used set and painting them to match my truck.

It’s actually 3 smaller lights, I had them so that’s what I did. Two are spots and one is flood. They’re all Whelen pioneer slimline’s.

Thanks.  Looks nice. Thinking of going the same route. Is it a 3m Adhesive?  How do u feel about the fitment? 

It won't beat the factory fitment, plus if you have a front camera you will have to cut out a space for it in the overlay. I would say it looks nice from 3 feet, but you can see a small amount of black chrome under it if you look too close. It is 3M adhesive that holds it on, so it should be removeable.

What’d you paint it with? I’m planning on doing the same and going to paint some fender flares as well...

I’m looking to paint the grille and fog light bezels. 
 

How did you get the paint to stick?

 

My painter said the paint won’t stick to the chrome?

 

I’m considering the after market black grille overlay and just vinyl wrapping the fog light bezels.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
