FWIW

Ran thru car wash the other day (Something I NEVER do normally) and it discolored my black grill.

Used some Mother's Back To Black and it brought it back nicely.



Pecked out on my iPhone.

5-bar painted in rustoleum bed liner. I separated the grill and only painted the front portion. The back portion of the grill was left the original black and adds some contrast.....sorry for the lack of detail in the photos

It's a Galaxy Moto grill. I wonder if you could replace the front emblem with a 2018 emblem that has the built in camera. Wouldn't need to cut a hole in it then. I don't know if the connection is the same though.

Camera alignment (if you have the 360 camera) would likely be an issue then..... though perhaps there is some way to recalibrate the cameras..... but it's an interesting thought - I did not realize the 2018 moved the camera to the emblem... does it still have the washer element?

I don't think the camera was perfectly level; I think the grill is.

How does the plastidip stand up to car washes with the spinning brushes?
