Default 2nd the exacto thing...

Hello,
I just did this upgrade on my '10 SLT. The hooks and grey trim piece fit perfectly. I seem to recall though that the Sport needs some "careful trimming"...

Good luck!

I'd be interested to see a pic of it done. Everything I've read says they can't be installed on the sport.

Dont cut it, go to your dealership. The panel only costs $10.25.

Got them installed, I ended up cutting the plastic piece since the only one they make doesn't fit the sport front bumper. Will put up pics but I don't know how, anyone wanna put them up for me?

Im interested in seeing this picture also. Plus I would like to see where you attached the hooks to a plastic bumper. I've looked under my truck and there is nothing around it to mount the hooks to.
