I did this on my 2012 LR4 and it was such a pain in the **** to install. Did it today on the 2015 and it was a breeze! The old glue came off in just about 15 minutes using my fingers and no goo gone. Used goo gone to get the residue off. First I used painters tape so get the alignment correct before installing the new ones. Gotta tell you, on a black or white truck, the gloss black just makes it stand out. Now I just need to sell the black grill from my 2012 so I can get the 2015 grill...

I'm having mine done as well tomorrow. I've updated the door handles, grill, lug nuts and center caps. :) my own version of black pack.

Pics to post later this week on the overall update. Just updated to 20s and new tires as well. 275/55/20 on RR rims with 48 off set and 9.5 wide rim.

She sits real nice now and sure footed. My nephew thought I had the suspension on off road height.

This is on my 08 LR3 tho…

I'm having the door handles done when I get the black covers. Ordered the center caps but decided not to go with the lug nuts, at least not yet. Love the black look on a black truck. Looked good on our white one as well.

Mine is Rimi Red and I really love the truck. Somewhat more than my '11 and '13 Lux LR4s.

I do miss heated steering, keyless entry and tri level seat heating. But I'm spoiled. Haha.

Love the Red! I have the heated steering which is nice etc. One thing that bugs me about Land Rover, they cheap out on their trucks if you don't get the Lux. I had the Lux in my 2012 but not in the 2015. How is it possible to not have memory seats? Why is that even an option on a $60k+ truck? what could it cost them, $50? We also had the rear speakers and cooler, which was nice but not a necessity. But the memory seats are now that I drive the truck at times. Have to readjust everything...

Yep agree and I was lucky in the LR3 having the lux option as well.

I'm debating installing a gloss black "V8" on the back of my '13. Seems they are all aftermarket though.

I actually pulled all standard lettering off the back of mine and replaced it with only black lettering in the UK style saying "Discovery 4".
