Sorry! , my search function isn't working (or I don't know how to work it, lol). So, I can't find any previous threads. I'm thinking of purchasing rear wheel liners for my 2014 Platinum. Pro's and con's?

Note to self: Don't ever put rear wheel well liners on by myself. The YouTube guy failed to mention trying to line up the frigging screws. The 90 degree weather this afternoon didn't help

I hear you, never thought they would be that difficult! Hardest part for me was cutting a section out for my airbag brackets. They sure look nice though.

I understand. That's why I got a cup of joe and let the man install mine for twenty bucks. He had them installed in 30 minutes, and I didn't break a sweat.

Updated pic of mine, wrapped the grille and installed add a leaf to level it. Very soon the truck will go to a 4" lift though with way less offset.

The grill looks great man. I ordered oem paint to do my mirror caps and grill surround because I could not find an exact match for sterling gray on vinyl.

Looks real nice. I like how it separates the lights.

Post it when you do it. I have been thinking of doing the exact same thing to mine as well

Thanks I used 3M metallic black, its a really close match but not perfect. Mine is only a temp fix, I didn't spend much to do it but wanted to make sure I liked it. Eventually I'll order a painted one. Maybe this weekend I'll get the new blinker reflectors wrapped. and installed.

In other news, only dropping to a 6" and changing the wheels for 20x10 -12mm.

Painted my mirror caps this weekend. Here is a crappy evening picture, but you get the idea. The color match is perfect and the metallic flake is spot on. I ordered the paint from automotive touch up mixed in a rattle can for $20.00. I plan on taking some good pics after I wash the truck.
