"It" (the Group 47 ACDelco and/or XS Power D4700) dropped right into the 2018 box; "it" is an eighth-inch longer and five-eighths wider. On the other dimension, the '47 is five-eighths taller. No trouble attaching the cables and threading them through the appropriate apertures, nor securing the hold-down screw/bracket.
Woops, I was talking about the D3400 actually, not D4700. D4700 has fit for a number of members with no issues.

The bumper cover clips aren't the greatest. Those quick latches tighten up the nose, making it better able to withstand future remove/re-installation. I'm thinkin' of a set, but it looks like it's a PITA to get right.
Yea I got a set from CJPonyparts. They went on easy. Why did I do mine? The clips had broken off...

Regards,
Dave

Low buck big smile mod, the Scosche Magic Mount to hold the phone and ordering a few 12" Lighting cables to keep the dash area un-cluttered.

My brother the professional detailer told me that layering wax is a waste of time so I didn't put a third coat of ULW on the front end. I had no idea even I spent a lot of time on Meg's forum when I bought my Frontier in '05 I have not been on the site much the last few years. I did pick up a bottle of Meg's carnuba wax to and topcoated the NXT on one side of the hood as a test.

Added theae last night. Just a test run to see if they hold up.

Started painting the strut tower covers. Not very happy with color (way too dark of a red) or the finish(a couple of big runs, definitely the fault of the one applying the paint). I'll get some pics of those once I get them straightened out.

I have clip breakage, too. Thinking through the options before my I/C goes on later this month.

Put some foam pieces under the hood to stop any more marks on the MMD rad cover extensions.
Tell us more. I'm considering ordering a set of those.

There are a couple spots where the underside of the hood makes slight contact with the extensions leaving a mark on them. I placed a small piece of sticky foam where the rad marks were happening then closed the hood. Reopened the hood and the sticky foam pieces had stuck to the spots on the hood. Hope is the foam will keep things from marking further. Can take pics tomorrow

Which magic mount? Ive got the power outlet one I swap between car and truck. But I think I'd like to pick up another. Just not sure which one to set up a really clean install. Don't really like the idea of sticking to the dash.

I bought the mount that plugs into a 12v outlet but it moved around too much. I took it back and bought the small version and I did stick it on the dash panel. If I do need to remove or replace it surely it can't be worse than the fender badges, that adhesive is wicked tough. It's mounted just above the tuning knob and about perfect for my short arms.

Gotcha. I've got a 10" screen so not much room in that area. I've seen pictures of where you put it and that works pretty good.

Added rear spoiler that's color-matched to my wheels.... wanted to install 295/35/20 Pilot Sport tires to front, but they were rubbing on the front fender well, so the 285/35's will stay put for now.

Which spoiler is that? And did you have to drill the trunk?
