KNOCKOFF Ford Ranger Raptor Grille

[chuck stein]

Make your own lights. They are super easy to do and total cost about $13. Mine turned out great.

What do the lights do?, other than use power......

So I'm supposed to be getting my truck Friday and went on a buying spree over the weekend for some goodies - I ordered the grille from the Toyota accessories guy and got this email today:

You buy Ford parts from a Toyota guy....... a bit ironic, no?

Where did you get the letters for your grill.. I like the multi-color...

Edit: I saw your build thread, you painted them yourself.

Did you buy the black or red letters? Basically did you paint the black on or the red?

TRD Vinyls makes Letter overlays in multiple colors.

Yea I was thinking of rangergrille.com blue letters and using TRD black vinyl over the blue letters.

It seems rangergrille has not updated their site in a while. Been out of blue letters since like October.
They also posted a while back they are bring out the subtle lettering which has never come to pass.

You could always Spray Paint the Black Letters of the Knock Off Grille Blue and use the Black overlays (TVD Vinyl Decals) on them. The letters are indvidually attached and removeable for painting. You may already know that, and if so, justignore my comment.... :>)

The grille I bought came with the letters. Everything was in a matte black paint. I did the whole grille in gloss black to match the truck. I painted the letters a gloss red, then after they dried I taped off the red and painted the surfaces black. It wasn't hard.

They mimic the original Raptor look. They use hardly any power since they are LEDs. Maybe a few tenths of an amp?

Has anyone relocated their adaptive cruise control sensor with one of these grills? I am thinking I will eventually move toward an aftermarket bumper and perhaps a winch and will need to move that sensor.

"Hardly any power". That was said when incandescent light bulbs were invented
Wanna-be Raptor seems to be the fad of the day. Why don't Ford just bring a damn Ranger Raptor to the US?

Another sales gimmick (Tacoma does the same thing, don't know why). Sales gimmicks are not for me. In recent days I have found this Ford Ranger to not be a wise purchase choice, from cheazy fake engine noise piped into the cabin via radio, to an actual Ford letter I got in reply to my inquiry (Ford replies with BS and lies).
I was looking to buy a 2021 Ranger, but no more, bought a Colorado ZR2 w/ Edlebrock SC ! Adios Ranger. Adios 5G forum.

I'm not sure this will work with the Raptor grille but there is a relocation bracket for the ACC. @HoosierT installed it and did a write up on it here. You could always call the company and see if it'll fit.

THank you. I wasnt sure if having the plastic in front would mess up the sensor.

Sorry to hear you went with a Chevy, to each his own. I love my Ranger and am happy with it. Head over to your new forum... we won't miss you here.

Need to know this one too. Have the grill installed and looking at bumper.
