3 led are stocked in the US currently per CT. So, maybe a handful of days before you get it? Just check your tracking info. You should get an email when it ships.

Do you know if these will fit the 2020's that are just rolling out now?

the 2020 is the same front end, so they will fit.

the tracking link still says preparing shipment as of 9/5, order placed 8/30

As an fyi, my bank also charged me an additional $3.75 international transaction fee stating CarTrimHome London.

I reached out to CT fo find out whats going on with that order number. I'll DM you later this evening when they respond.

As far as the international fee, I cannot speak to what a bank will or may charge. I've made tons of CT purchases using my credit card and have never had any additional fees. I recommend contacting your Bank to sort that out. CT will not have a part in that piece either.

Thanks! I'm not really concerned about the fee, more of a heads up for others.

Did you choose 'yes' to the add-on for the fuse holder? They were only including it for free for a limited time a while back; otherwise I think it's $6.

And yes, there should have been a small pack of screws included. I would contact them for the screws for sure.

Ordered the 4LED and just got package in the mail today.

Heads up...signature required via USPS. Just happened I was home when I saw the mail being delivered. From China to Pittsburgh in a very reasonable time.

That’s just 9 days with a long weekend in there.

Just dropped my bumper off today to get painted for my bumper swap. Little irritated that the paint job is more than the bumper clip.

Looking forward to installing this.

Installation best practices

OK, now that this thread is becoming too ponderous to find the relevant info. Can those that successfully installed the grill please post the most important installation tips? Specifically:

1. What fuse is the best to tie into? Ideally, the LEDs would come on with the parking lights, not when the vehicle is started. I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this anywhere in this thread or on the internet. Please provide the fuse slot number so we can easily find it.

2. What order should the two grill parts be assembled and are there any tips to avoid pitfalls with fit or installation?

3. If painting first, will using a heat gun ruin the paint, or should the piece be heated and fit first, then removed and painted?

Basically, anything to help us out during the big install! Thanks!

Hey 91324. Did CT put into production the new item you had been working with them on yet? You were pretty excited about it and were thinking it would be something very convenient for us. Thanks

 

[tylertenny]

I ordered the pro grille last night from CTH. I'll get the lower valance ordered today from ebay and then try to wait patiently for everything to show up.

Sigh, no they've been working on it but were having issues in the factory. Not sure if/when it'll be released.

1) I ran my fuse into the cabin via the FW and plugged it into the slot. I used this YT video (forward to 6:25 to see where it plugs in) for the location in the cabin fusebox. It comes on with ignition, not lights. YouTube

2) As far as how to install the grill, I used this YT video and didn't have any issues at all. It's very straightforward. YouTube

3) I've had my grill for more than a year and a half, it's been through tons of power washes and been in the Texas sun and I haven't had ANY fading/slipping/movement of the grill whatsoever. I still don't understand why people paint it, but to each their own.

You're nuking it dude. It's a piece of plastic stuck to the grill and some LED Christmas lights. You'll be fine.

Thanks for the videos! I'd still like the LEDs to turn on with the lights, if anyone knows how to do this.
