Not sure I understand what you mean by 'combo'. The actuator connects to the existing locking mechanism. Tons of threads on this already. This is the actuator I bought.

Did you have to make a bracket for the tailgate actuator you used or did come with the actuator?

Yup, I recently ordered mine and it was the new design. I installed it yesterday, works perfectly. Straight bolt on with no issues. Thanks to this forum, it's the best 26 bucks I've spent and the first mod for my screw.

Default Carbon Fiber Vinyl on 13 FX4

Here's my contribution to this thread. I was originally looking for vinyl that color matched the Blue flame of my FX4 to add to the grill inserts. I had no luck in locating an exact match, the only other solution was painting it, but this is such a new truck. I wanted something temporary like vinyl in case I didn't like it. So, I went with carbon fiber instead. It's a subtle change, but an improvement over the plain black grill in my opinion. Cheap mod for $15 in vinyl from metrorestyling.
