This is bad picture but it shows the blacked out vents and grille (before lift).

Looks awesome!

Thank you David. I'm really happy with the way it all came out.

how did you deal with the pressure sensors during the powder coating process?

why did you choose to leave the lug nuts chromed instead of powder coating?

To get the wheels powder coated you need to take off the tires and everything else (TPMS or valves) as they get baked so the powder sticks to the rim.
I currently have my 19s back on (long road from Boston to Albuquerque) with no TPMS and I used my IIDTool to turn off the alert.
I spray painted these myself and I actually prefer the look than the powder coat. Much cheaper too. However it requires time and attention to detail for a decent result.

I initially spaced out and forgot to get them done and never got to buy black ones.
It turns out that I don't mind them so much as the whole truck is blacked out.
People have actually commented that it looks good this way.
