Raptor Grill Craftsmanship

[Mobius97]

If my Lariat had the sport grill I would have definitely kept it on. That looks nice. I don't mind the design at all but I couldn't stand the chrome one I had.

No pics of damage. All clips on bottom damaged or broke off.
I did like another fellow did and hung it up.. Will put lights in it later. Raptor grill got its issues, but made it work...

What is the hood protector you’re using? Did the lights come with the protector?

AVS... they make all kinds but this one came with the lights.
Be forewarned. Their customer service sux. Packaging was damaged due to poor support in box and after a few weeks, the LEDs (suppose to be sealed), are now getting moisture inside and discoloring. I called, sent in what they wanted, (photos), etc. Only response so far was an email asking if I was satisfied. Oh course I put hell no.

I'm not removing it. Had to heat the crease in the middle out from the bad shipping and I've ordered another strip from online. Screw 'em Order at your own risk. Nice concept, very poor customer service.

I agree, my Lariat FX4 has the sport grill and I like it. I plan to wait until Ford releases a NA Raptor and I can order an OEM quality grill. It may be a while but if it fits, it will probably be worth double the cost. Not in a rush.

The folks here are saying their stock grills already have busted mounting tabs.... That would lead a body to think that the statement "an OEM quality grill" may not be accurate.

I saw that but was thinking it's probably just normal new vehicle assembly learning curve at the factory. Also, very few reports so far considering the number of raptor grills being installed and that the OEM grills are difficult to remove without damage. Anyway, like I said, I'm in no hurry unless mine breaks and comes loose.
