Well, I finally got around to painting my brake calipers. They came out pretty good but would have been much better had I removed the calipers and spray painted them. The hardest part was getting the friggin' tires back on the truck.

Pretty simple. Heat gun to carefully heat up the adhesive behind the inlay. Then use like a plastic trim tool to pry a corner. Then keep heating as you pull. 3M adhesive spray removal works good and I use plastic razor blades to remove all remaining adhesive. Then prep with alcohol and wipe, then slap on new ones. I posted in previous thread the sight where I got them from.
The front was a different story have to removed the grille and all kinds of shit. Since I thought that was BS, I just busted out the red inserts to access the black clip on portions. Then used combination of angled needle nose pliers, reaching in from all angles around the grille and from the inside of the hood too (removed the plastic trim piece under the latch. Then long needle nose to pinch the clips and pulled out. The new nes just snap in with some pressure to hear audible click. The top one of the C and G were a little tough. Basically used long chisel on the posts on the backs of the letters and made it fit. If you do it, you’ll see what im talking about and it will make perfect sense.
Hope this helps you out.
What did you do to your front grill? How and what did you use. I really need this as my grill and fog light bezels are pealing. Thanks and awesome mods!!!
