Take the grill off, get some OE type paint in a rattle can. Wet sand grill, Prime and paint. It would come out nice for a fraction of having a shop do it.

I personally like it. On a white truck, it may not be my cup of tea, but on your black truck... awesome! I ordered Carbonized Gray with BAP after seeing another truck with it and really liking it. On black though, it really is sharp!

I think it looks awesome on the Carbonized Gray. I think the last thing I’m going to do is add a black exhaust tip to hide the stainless pipe.

I went with the BAP to gain a few of the things that came with package. I absolutely dispise chrome so the black pieces are a nice touch in my opinion. However unless my truck is black I don't like everything totally blacked out. My truck will be carbonized gray so I bought some mirror caps, fender badges, ovals and a new grill (platti) grill that all incorporate carbonized gray with some black mixed in. So I plan to sell all my BAP pieces to recoupe a little money 😅.

I really like the black appearance package. Downsides are that I used to customize my older trucks like that. Now anybody can just buy one like mine. I also couldnt get a camper package or the baja interior with the BAP!

Thanks…It’s a 2020 Tuscany FTX package…close to the same as the Black Ops package but no Black Ops branding…I’m in Texas and had it delivered from Wisconsin…had no idea that it was 001 of 500 for that year till I received it…
