I don’t notice it from normal viewing angles on mine. I have the extended black exterior pack.

Being that the plate is so far down, it’s gonna get peppered just from normal driving…especially in gloss black. If it were me, I’d have it Line-X’ed or do it yourself with a Raptor spray kit. Both of those will make the plate disappear but add durability/repair-ability (you can touch them up)

Probably worth mentioning since you asked about color in this thread: The genuine LR front undershield is not painted silver. I believe it's "raw aluminum" type of finish, as someone else said that the genuine LR under shield is pretty thick metal. It's not painted. I think the raw aluminum look is spot on because I've bashed it a few times, & my trail damage isn't noticeable -- the scuffs match the rest of it pretty well. Simple and utilitarian. So even with some bashing it looks good. Unlike the black powder coated steel skid plates I've had on other trucks that have silver gashes all over.

On my 110 S I ordered the Cold Weather pack which has just heated (not cooled) seats along with heated wheel, windshield and washer jets I believe

Heated seats were standard on my SE. No cooling needed where I'm at.

Hey! It's useful 1-2 days out of the year ;-) I don't have it either, but when I had it it my F150 I didn't notice it do anything worthwhile
