    Can you please share pics? And also share if you did the white clip hack for the sensor?

    Look, I'll admit I'm OCD and previously didn't consider the overlays as I have parking sensors and some of the images I'd seen show the dimple either in the shell, or the sensor itself not sitting flush in it's black retainer. While many wouldn't care, that would drive me nuts. Then I found a thread where @EC1 shared a hack about shaving down the white retainers for the back of the sensors.

    I'm looking for pics mostly of those who went this route. While I can go the OEM route with resin, or have my metal caps de-chromed, acid etched and then painted or PC'd, the shellz after finding this hack are back into consideration.

    Lastly, does anyone have a PN they can share for those white clips? When I GTS's Tundra parking sensor clip, or retainer all I find is the black piece around the sensor itself.

    Appreciate it boys (and girls)

    That looks correct. I replaced mine a while back after installing bumpershellz.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Did you end up with a dimple and were ok with it? Or did you cut/sand down the white clip springs? If you opted to modify the clips, how much did you take off? I understand why they are there, for positive pressure to keep that clip in place. Just not sure how much to remove. I personally don't want any dimple if possible.

    Did you trim the white sonar retainer clip?
