The guy there is in the business of repairing collision damage. He instinctively put together a quote for painting my silver ones black. It escalated to over $1000 because he said he was going to have to remove the bumpers. And unplug the radar sensor. Disconnecting and reconnecting the radar sensor is a $500 affair due to legal calibration issues.

Now I’m starting to understand why the 2020 ORPs with “Predator XP” packages have changed for 2020. In the past, the P XP packages included a heritage grille. Now they black out the front emblem and call it a day.

Parts department also said they could not order the 2020 heritage grille parts (with radar block accommodations) even with a correct part number. “Try back in a couple of months”.

May look into wrapping the valances or delaying that gratification for a later time.

I think they just don't want to waste their time with small jobs like this and give out ridiculous quotes to scare people off.

I started focused on wrapping... however, wrapping is expensive where I am .. a little better than paint for durability but not much in my opinion.

I ended up buying a brand new black TRD bumper valance (for off road durability) and then wrapping the bumper section behind / above the bumper valance and below the lower grill. It turned out great and I think it'll be pretty durable on the trails.

Stay safe out there.
