Wrapped the oem 3rd brake light. Gloss black to blend/hide with the rear glass.View attachment 217295 View attachment 217296

Hey, what wrap did you use for this? Is it a translucent vinyl or window tint?

I wouldn't toss that grill yet. Gotta be a way to patch it up to make it work. The 2 pieces that are broken look like they can be lined up. Maybe line them up and hold them together some how and pour some liquid 2 part epoxy in there. Maybe the 5 min kind. Won't be perfect but it'll hold together, and maybe sand it down a little. Give it a shot.

I've thought about saving it. I know if I can find a way to fix it then it will be solid. But just that patch, I'm telling you the rest off the grille will eventually crack and break. This think is incredibly weak.

Pure black, not translucent.

Yea I had plans for it , maybe not meant to have an HD grille lol. I should’ve kept the last one and tried to fix it. The chrome bar broke on that one if you remember but it was a much tougher plastic that this one.
So right now I have a paintable z71 grill

....that I still need to paint lol

I honestly think that you could make the Z71 grille look better than the HD grille. Paint it, billet inserts and maybe billet bowtie

It would but I'm trying to stay away from looking exactly like @Fosscore lol. I even have the same inserts as him. It's my favorite look but he already got it before I did lol

You, my friend, are the exact opposite of me. I could not do this. Side note, do you have any performance mods done to yours?

Oh ok, you were completely blacking it out since you're using the led strip in the back window now. That makes more sense haha
