Ah gotcha thanks! I want to do the same but haven’t found a dance partner yet
Where are you located? And what grille do you have. I have the WT gloss black. Wouldn’t mind trading for a grey one

I just swapped out my WT grille (with camera) with a BL grille (without camera). The grille fit perfectly, I just unscrewed the housing that held my camera and washer, and screwed it back onto the BL grille. However because the BL didn’t have the the same sized slot for the camera, I just used a dremel type tool to knock out the two pieces of plastic between the “O” and the “N”. You can see the before and after in these two pics. It was very easy.

@B Miller Is this the trimming that you were referring to in your other post on swapping grilles?

Looks great! I was talking about the mounting piece that holds the grill to the Bronco. To put a Black Diamond grill on a Badlands Bronco you need to trim off these wings. Hope this makes sense. The video will be out in a few days!

So the photos aren't IG worthy, but they suffice to show the grill swap that I did yesterday. I have a Black Diamond with capable bumper and an OBX HIGH package with modular bumper. End result is the OBX grill on the Black Diamond - a combination that likely will never be seen. And vice versa - Black Diamond grill with front camera on the OBX.
