    We're the company that makes the BumperShellz. Great job on the install video! The end result is awesome and your tips along the way are things that I myself tell customers who call. I'd love to be able to refer customers to your video who are doing this installation, and just wanted to check with you first. Thanks for the video, and the truck looks great! Also, let me know if you're still waiting on those rears. I hope not, but I figured I'd check. Thanks!

      I’m glad I could help! Yes, the product is great and such an easy install that provides a drastic change.
      I actually am waiting on the rear covers still. Was hoping to see them by now, but they still look like they are on back order. Hoping to see them come in soon.
      Yes! Feel free to use the video at your leisure. That’s what I do these videos for 👍🏻

      I have the same product on my 2018 F-150 but the black matt color, unfortunately the plastic is disintegrating and breaking down due to Florida’s sun and rain. I may have to remove them as they’re starting to look old and ugly.

    You leave the front plate off just in case you actually want the already very inefficient intercooler to actually get air. Your truck looks good. I blacked my 2016 out long time ago but had less to do, my bumpers were already paint matched. My grille was black but I installed the same gloss grill as you.

    So happy I stumbled upon your video tonight. I was leaning towards powder coat or vinyl wrap for front and rear bumpers. These covers are exactly what I want. I found a center piece insert I'm going to replace the OEM one with too. Did my handles and badges today. Are there covers for rear bumper like the front? Thanks.

    Those covers look great! I got the Onyx edition Subaru Ascent ordered, and there is a chrome piece that runs through the middle of the trunk hatch. Was planning on just using vinyl, but those covers with tape might be a better option if they're available.
