Probably not, your ACC radar is under the Stock Lightning plastic bumper.

Great video.

My bumper is supposed to be shipped 10/10. I only wish they would have ordered the rear bumper as well so I could fork them over more money.

That is almost the exact cost of bumper damage I incurred when I hit a truck tire on the highway. Took out the plastic trim on the bumper and the air dam. No paint work.

My truck is a "get me to work" truck not a real work truck so I happily paid my insurance deductible and had mine repaired but I can see the appeal of a heavy duty bumper to keep a vehicle in service.

That blocks a concerning amount of the air intake area. I can't imagine that's a good idea or good for AC performance on a hot day.
This is my main concern as well although there are some slots for airflow. Also wondering what the impacts to the active air dam are.

I emailed Sinister Diesel regarding the matching rear bumper (*not listed on their site.)

We will see. what they say. I would like to have the set.
