That's for an Xpel package. Waiting to hear back from another place that uses Suntek. Cost of living in Southern California, I guess..

Now that explains a lot...Southern CA :ROFLMAO:

Here in N. FL, you can get your front bumper, quarter panels, headlights, mirror caps, full hood, door handle cups, door edge guards, A-pillars and roof forward of the pano for between $1200-$1500 with Xpel.

yeah, it does suck to live here sometimes... gonna need to get other quotes too, but i have a feeling they'll all be at around the same price. Most likely the labor cost that's super high.

Black 4X4 emblem. That's the last of the chrome emblem replacement.

I think I'll have the OE exhaust tips powder coated black.

Looks good! I have all the badges ready to go for my blackout. Perhaps I missed it, but have you decided to stick with the chrome badging on the Sport hood? Or are you planning to replace the entire plastic bezel at some point?

I'll probably end up replacing the whole bezel. I'm not really digging the overlays. They are good quality and precisely cut, but it just doesn't look as good as a the factory black, in my opinion.

Are you sticking with the black overlays on the sport hood? I was wondering if you could do a closer picture of that as I’m leaving that way more than replacing the entire thing. Looks good!

First off, I want to express a very sincere "Thank You" to every single person who provides input on this forum. Over the course of the last month and a half I spent a ton of time reading different thoughts and ideas when it comes to making these RAM's tough!

How are the tires holding up? Do they wear evenly? Worth the money or a hard pass? Thanks.

Looks great! How involved was the install?
Click to expand...
Not too bad. I started by reading this thread on Lightbar installs to help me plan ahead: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/tailgate-light-bar.3298/

The hardware is easy to install after that (with the nylon spacers and the trailer wiring harness that is mentioned a lot in the latter pages of that thread). However, it took me a couple hours because I was testing something new in order to eliminate the delay between the tail light blinker and the lightbar's blinker. More info on that is in that thread if you're interested.

I also took extra time to solder and heat-shrinke all of my connections before wrapping them to ensure moisture wouldn't be an issue.

It didn't help that it was just above freezing and I couldn't find my electric heater. Lol

I too had the Putco 60" lightbar installed and LOVE it. And its white backup LEDs throw out an amazing amount light. My installer wired the Putco so there's no blinker delay. BUT w/ the wiring method he used, the brake light LEDs do not function. So I'd be interested in knowing how you did the wiring so there's no blinker delay AND the brake light LEDs still function.

Take care!
 
Installed Borla S-Type yesterday with black chrome 5" tips. IT'S AMAZING! I've read a ton of reviews on this and was worried about the overall volume of the system. its not nearly as LOUD as some say. On cold start, it rumbles but nicely without being over powering. Once warmed up it settles in nicely. putting around in the neighborhood (30km/h) you can hardly tell it's after market. BUT once you hit the highway you can unleash the fury! (only if you want to) this exhaust from Borla is amazing. There is no drone at all inside the cab when cruising. I also have the 77 series K&N CAI installed and you can hear it in the cab but only when you get into the throttle, which is perfect. I was debating on the MBRP (Canadian made) and since a buddy has one on his '17 but he even told me to get the Borla. We did a side by side comparison and test drive circuit and it was crazy how much quieter the Borla was. Much nicer for daily driving, but as noted, she screams and it's amazing if you put your foot down.
Borla S-Type 100% no regrets.
K&N CAI model 77 - noticeable torque improvement above 4k RPM. - no regrets.

Based on the video there still is a slight delay. I don't believe there is currently a way to have both the brake light work and no delay for OP7 or Putco
