Post up pics when the truck is presentable (lol) and a link where you ordered it from if you don't mind. That maybe my next purchase.

Thanks
Installed the Raptor grill that came in by UPS today as well as the Putco lower grill insert that came in yesterday. Looks great. No pics yet because truck is still covered pollen. Plan to wash it tomorrow if the weather is nice.

Painted lower fascia black to match truck. Tested last years skid plate plstidip job. Looks the same, no damage and like I just did it. Installed new Putco lower grill insert. I/you, must, take lower fascia off to do it right. The instructions suck as well as pictures are deceiving. The Putco logo believe it or not, faces engine. Either others are doing it wrong or Putco is inconsistent with their quality control.
Anywho, nice out, got lot done for a change.

@HTX1811 Here is a pollen covered pic I took just after install. You can get both of them from Stage 3 Motorsports, who is a forum sponsor. I ordered the grill from them and the lower insert from ebay CARiD only because S3M were out of those at the time. Both shipped quickly.

I do think it looks more 'trucky' than the original grill. Which to me looks a little 'car like'. Was not sure what to think of the Raptor grill when I first saw it on another Ranger picture. As I saw more pictures of trucks with it the more I started to like it.

With the lower insert be aware there are two versions - one for trucks w/o the adaptive cruise and one with. They also come in stainless with out the black powder coating as well.

With the Raptor grill you need to select the Ford lettering kit as an add on. They have a light kit you can add also.

Hope this helps.

Installed my air design spoiler that I bought on Black Friday. I added ten led red lights to the spoiler ( 3 for left turn and brake lights, 3 for right turn and brake lights , and 4 for running lights) . They are bright . This is another thing I did since I have so much free time right now
