I've been around HazMat and rad material with less ppe than that. Although that might explain some of my issues?

He's having separation anxiety... his 'girl" is in the shop...
He's probably sitting in his empty garage, looking at the oil splotches on the floor...kind of like looking at an ink blotch at the shrinks office...

Added the FP grille and swapped my Lariat Raptor style lights for the FP Raptor lights. The Lariat grille version lights would not have lined up with open holes on the FP grille. I’m very pleased with the more aggressive look of the FP grille.

This grille / light combo is on my early mod list. How was the install?

The Raptor style lights are pretty easy to do. This was my second time installing them as I had them for my Lariat grille but changed the lights out for the new FP grille.

The grill was tricky but not too terrible - it was my first time doing something like this. If you watch the video from stage3, I found the inner black shroud (not the top shroud - that one is very easy) did not come out as easily as in the video. Maybe they were removing a different model stock grille but when I did it like he does in the video, mine just got stuck. I ended up removing an extra screw on the left side and loosening the screw on the right side of the large plastic/rubber pieces on each side of the shroud and manhandled the shroud out.

I was able to remove the old grille without breaking the tabs. I highly suggest looking carefully at the replacement grille tabs for the FP Grille because the stock grille tabs were the same and it really helped me know what direction to put pressure and release them. I can see how people broke tabs here.

Other than that I just cut my hand up a good bit because it was cold out and my hand was numb as I hit it against stuff. Worth it!

Some local China made ones. No real brand. I bought them off Shopee.
