Yeah The echomaster display I don't like :/ I wish it was more modern looking I guess? I just googled the FIT Sensors, now there is no display? is it audible only? and can you mount these in the front as well? The photo shows just sensors and a small box.

I have not recoated them still look new. If you get the kit there is a spray your supposed to spray on after several washes tomhelp keep it from getting marked up but it is super easy to spray on a cloth and wipe down.

As for overspray. I had very little if any. And that was mostly because i was not thinking about the mask very well. But it was easy enough to remove.
I just bought 5 cans of plastidip going to do my emblems and my Grey chin and rear bumper, and if I love how it holds and looks I probably won't buy the overlay. Any plastidip tips would be awesome!

We never use a display. The display is optional on Echomaster. You can front mount with either brand. I believe FIT has a separate kit for this.

Mag Grey, it's a Trail Premium so it has the Silver chin on the lower bumper and on the rear bumper, I'm going to dip it black with the emblems. I just dislike the silver chin and the black look I love but I don't wanna pay for Vinyl wrap the cost are alot compared to two cans of dip. I don't want to take it off the truck, seems pretty easy just spraying it with 5 to 6 layers.

How hard is it to removed the emblems? is it just glued on or are there clips?

The front is clipped on. The others have that 3m double sided tape. I used 10lb test fishing line and doubled it up. Then used it like a "saw" to cut the tape behind the emblems. They came off really easy and quick.

Update! So I purchased the emblem overlays from Nox Lux! (Pictures soon, shes dirty atm) after doing some test runs with plasti dip I just didn't like how it turned out, so I returned my cans and purchased the emblem overlays and cleaned the crap out of my chrome emblems (soap and then rubbing alcohol) then heated them up with a blow dryer the placed them and they fit flush! Super easy and may have took me about a half an hour No taping off required etc.

Next I need to order the black valance panel for front and back or maybe just wrap it in vinyl? I've never been good with lining up stickers though LOL thoughts? If you've wrapped part of your runner and tips would be greatly appreciated!
