Agreed, but the counterpoint is that we all need some diversion and a sense of something in the chaos that we can control. Puttering around in the garage or shop helps.
I just rotated my tires and cleaned out my intake and radiator fins. And I'm about 9 months ahead on some woodworked Christmas gifts.

I mean, millions of people are losing their jobs and thousands are dying. That's more important than spending hard earned money on a front grill to my way of thinking. Again, no criticism of the OP or anyone who enjoys modifiying of their cars is intended.

Very true, sir, but for someone who avidly (perhaps even obsessively) follows the news and is even reading about the end of the world (me, guilty as charged on both counts)...the related predictions of global fire, earthquakes, and disease are making some people very uneasy, and thus reducing what they spend beyond the bare necessities as they tighten their belts in the face of our faltering economy.

Dude, please. I live where earthquakes happen daily. It’s life and life goes on. Uh oh..... I just felt another tremor. Take cover! Just ordered another TT accessory.

Consider that the end of the world (if it were to come) could be the result of simultaneous earthquakes of great size (in numbers and magnitudes of which we've never seen before); conflagrations of vast size, number, and intensity; widespread destructive floods; volcanic eruptions; and disease (think 1918 Spanish flu, the bubonic plague, the current coronavirus outbreak, etc on a vast pandemic scale). The 1906 San Francisco earthquake would, in comparison, seem like a mere tremor. Just sayin'
Consider that humanity survived the 1918 Spanish Flu with vastly less medical knowledge and technology. Granted we're now more a global community and therefore we're spreading this one much more quickly and widely. Perhaps a bucket list 911 (997 best value) is a good idea right about now?
I do find that especially considering delivery prioritizations I'm not ordering anywhere near my norm (even then always living within my means). Of course that geometric slowdown too is adversely affecting the economy. "Difficult to see; always in motion the future is." -Yoda
Chilly day for any automotive work, mod's or otherwise (the fleet's already clean and waxed) but thankfully another woodworking project underway in my cozy basement shop.
If you have front parking sensors then be warned! The one piece grills don't have the holes for the parking sensors in the right place. I learnt from experience, back to the standard grill for me.
I'm interested in this mod but I don't want to sacrifice the sensor operation. Could you extend the wiring harness and reuse the sensors?
I've been running them for 2 years now with no issues. Plus the original grille is grey and the new grille is black. Having two grey sensors in an all black grille looks unfinished.
Edit: Just to add it's not the wiring harness that's too short, it's that the holes in the grille are slightly lower than the original grille. They are also pointed slightly down which triggers the false warnings.

Very cool. Thanks for the reply! I bought a 2020, which appears to have a black grille already. It sounds like the only reason I would need to buy new sensors is to avoid the false warnings? Are the sensors you listed less sensitive?
