I went a little crazy and drove this off the lot today. Wasn't really even considering white but the contrast with the wheels and top really looked good in pictures and even better when I saw it in person. Then it was just a matter of getting over the sticker shock.

Great video. I did mostly the same as you did but used regular paint. How did you take off the rubber seal? I did not do this.

Thanks! I just grabbed the little mint green plastic insert and pulled up with my fingers.

Is the grill 2 pieces? Wanted to know how you got them apart to paint white inserts...
Yes all the white pieces come apart from the main (black) grille. Check out RogueKJ's video a few posts up.

order...DANG IT! My daughter reminds me every day that I need steps. LOL
I understand why she would need the step ;)
Did you add a lift? 2"?
Could you have gone with wider tires on the stock rims?
(I am asking because I have the same configuration)

Lift is the 2 1/2 inch RC. I went with a 12 1/2 tire because I wanted to keep stock rims without spacers if possible. It’s worked out so far with just a small adjustment on the steering stops.
