Picked them up off ebay. from these guys;

https://www.ebay.com/usr/usrallystri...p2047675.l2559

$143.00 with shipping. My installer said they seem a little thick and he's worried about them sticking at the wrap-around points. Time will tell. The effect is outstanding in the sun though.

Hotchkis says 1". I didnt take before and after measurements but it looks to be a bit more than 1" up front and right at 1" for the rear.

Blackout

Blacked out the front grill area, results were alright, possibly going for a bow tie delete soon.

Thanks! Thanks to Elvis66, too. I have looked at the heritage grille a good bit, it's not expensive and it looks clean. I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, after a few more mods maybe

Looks great man! I just looked up your post on cutting the stock engine cover and will probably be doing that soon, so don't be offended if you see me copying you, lol.

Had a couple days of rain so the salt is washed away pretty well. Wiped down the '17 and took it to work, with a little detour through mexico.

Got my new dipstick in. Woot...

I think someone got over excited with a vacuum sealer. That thing was locked down.
