FNG here just bought my new rig with 4K miles and saw the illuminated badge for the first time. I will build this rig slowly but first impressions great bones with shitty skin. Thankfully I have the 4 aux switches. I will probably delete and sell here this vanity logo and reroute power elsewhere. Anyone here have the same experience?

RE: "shitty skin" I think it's all cars my friend. My first project today putting on mud flaps the hardware and plastic is all crap. I'm a sailboat quality Man who like stainless steel and forget about it, not cheap plastic plugs on a $60K rig.

I’m putting my flaps on tomorrow! I miss the old rubber flexible ones, but this is what we get these days…

Wait until you have a moment of panic when the blow dryer at the car wash flexes your hood so much you think it's about to become an 18" wide dent right in front of your eyes.

Mine has that light too, and I don't hate it. But I bought the Trailhunter grill and it's going to go away soon.

Oh god, that’s gonna scare me
I don't know how far it actually was...But it looked like it caved at least 3/4" deep and two feet wide under that blow dryer.

It's legit the thinnest hood I've ever experienced, and I've driven some magnificent piles of shit LOL

Love the rims too šŸ˜†

i completely agree with the OP’s comment. Way too much plastic. Similar on other new vehicles I suppose.
