Love it. Thanks for the lead. Were they easy to install like stickers?

Tell me more about those d rings up front. I know you wrote about it. But it was along time ago

Yes, the film was easy to stick on. They come a bit oversize, so I just took an Exacto knife and trimmed the excess.
The "D" rings came from Rough Country, they have a kit with the mounts as well. Worst part is getting the OEM grommet/trim piece out. I just took a long prybar, stuck the sharp end into the plastic, and using the OEM loop as a fulcrum, popped them right out. It did demolish them.

Since we had an unusually nice day out, I washed the truck.



Also received my tunes from 5star and the eco tune is absolutely amazing. Seeing 21.9 mpg driving flat road on my way home from work and 18.9 at 75mph on the interstate. Huge improvement from the 14-15 I was seeing average. Very happy with the tune so far!

Good question, I don't know. Finish looks good on them, and don't hink it would be a big deal to refinish if needed. Thanks for reminding me though, I need to coat at least the mounts with this stuff. So far any ferrous metal I've coated.

Oooh, that sticker alignment on the rear window would drive me crazy I know how hard it is to line them up though, the time it took me to apply my sticker, aligned through the glass to the center of the rear headrest was obnoxious

Put paint to match tailgate emblem on, this weekend will do front emblem. Took longer to take inside tailgate cover off then push emblem out and put the tailgate cover back on.

A beautiful day in PA in the low 70s and I had to take my cousin to the airport 93 miles away. I had to use the AC, very rare this time of year in PA.
BUGS, BUGS, BUGS!
Cleaned the front end and windshield, then took it to a very close car wash.
Then I had to use a clay bar for the first time to get off several remaining tar spots.
