Awesome video. Inspired me to put the paint matched PRO on my 21 TB LT. It’s black on black and thus far, bad ass. I had it professionally installed and feel like I got paint/chip protection and a light bar integrated into a very indiscrete package for $450. I will report back in a month but went 75mph down the freeway in the rain with no flutter/drag and no issue with the water. I would expect this for that kind of $ but based on the mixed reviews on this product (pro & non-pro version) I’d figured I’d post here. Happy to answer any questions.

I am curious, can these be sanded smooth for exact color match to your vehicle? Next, for your wiring, leaving the hole on the factory hole and just finding same color, same gauge wire and just extend these wires over to the Passenger side Fuse box. You cold still run all the wires in some wire loom or Braided Wire Tape and go through the channels of the hood. Did Aeroskin have the Low Profile of the same product out when you got yours? I am looking at the Low Profile for my SIlverado, the hood is hard enough to see the Front End limits now. Please let me know your thoughts.

@@TruckOwnership101 yes I have LASFIT no hyper flash led bulbs in for my blinkers. When I installed this aeroskin, after about 3 mins of leaving my left turn blinker signal on, it will start to hyper flash but it won't do it on the right side. My theory is since the "parking lamp" wire is also connected onto the left side, maybe it's pulling to much power on to the left side and since the right side only has the green wire connected and nothing else but it doesn't give me a hyper flash issue. So I think it's the parking lamp wire (brown wire) that's causing my hyper flashing

You can do a test fit while the red film is still on the tape. The AVS is shaped to fit the hood front, so there is a sweet spot where everything meets flush. You don’t want to creep up to high on the hood otherwise the wiring will show that goes under the front lip of the hood.
