I payed around $400 for mine. Got them delivered in a little less than two weeks. Took about an 30 minutes for the back and an hour for front. Instructions were well detailed and their are also online video tutorials. They fit really well and the paint matches the body well. Took them through a drive thru as well to test how well they were applied and passed. Would recommend.

Only issue is I have a little white still showing on the passenger side but that's most likely from me not centering it perfectly. If you do end up getting all of the pieces please post pictures! Here is what mine looks like with just the center front piece.

Any idea if the textured black ABS would be close to the OEM sport grille color? I don't think it would, as the grille is a gray color, but just curious if you have an opinion.

In my opinion it’s pretty close. The textured ABS color matches pretty closely to the plastic trim around the intercooler. But I’ve attached some pictures of my old grille next to it. The sport grille shines more when the sun hits it. In my opinion, it’s close enough.

Why? Do you think the ABS version matches better to a sport grille or something? Any pictures of your truck with the matte black center front?

I think the ABS texture would match better. Plus, the matte finish marks relatively easily.

I was back and forth and finally decided to pull the trigger after considering vinyl, which I thought would fall victim to stones and bugs.
IMO they are a tad on the expensive side for what you get (especially after the exchange rate, shipping and customs), but hard to argue with the result. I got the two endcaps and ordered them in gloss white so I didn't have to have them painted. It nailed the look I was going for and the fit is perfect.

Any pictures of the matte finish up close, next to the sport grille and surrounding plastic of the intercooler? I guess I would assume that the matte finish would be better, as the grille is a flat texture. But it sounds like the matte finish marks up easily compared to ABS?
