Got my grill today, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who responded to my post and cartrimhome came through. Turns out it was stuck in customs in Chicago. Cartrim answered emails promptly and @91324 followed up and went above and beyond.

CarTrim Temporarily Out of LED Lights
If you ordered a grill in the last week with the LEDs, they have been on backorder. They hope to start shipping those grills starting tomorrow (Thursday in the US). I recommend replying to your order confirmation email requesting an update if you don't get any tracking information by EOD tomorrow.

I made my POC very aware that this is a poor customer experience - they need to make it clear that they're out of stock on the website OR make you aware when you order. They are following up on that.

I nearly screwed up the letters last night trying to apply them.
Barely sticking them on in the hopes of making them straight once they were all laid out didn't work. With them just barely touching they stuck really well and the adhesive started to come off as i was trying to restick them straight. Also, make sure the Os are correct. If you swap them with each other or have them upside down and then try to line up the pegs they will be way off and crowding into the Ts.

For those on the fence about ordering due to shipping times, it looks like its taking between 7 and 17 days to get the grills. Each grill is shipped the next business day, but customs is the bottleneck. I don't want CarTrim getting the blame for something entirely outside their control.

Hey guys. I just got my grill and I wanted to know if any of you sanded before painting or can you straight paint? I wasn’t sure but a few videos I saw they sanded before. If you have to sand then why grit level and type of sand paper?
