Connecticut Joe is is selling the Raptor grill for the Ranger on eBay for $274 which is almost half the price of the one from Thailand. I received mine in 4 days and it looks even better that his photos. Here is what came. I’ll post when I get it on the truck and let you know if it needs any mods. I will be selling my Sport Edition Magnetic grill when I complete this.

So you need to cut out around the letters? See Joe’s above this.
Actually you don't HAVE to cut out around the letters. Sure, to make it look more like the Original you would, but there's nothing keeping one from installing this as it is. I've actually ordered one from Joe and expect it in another week or so. like the more Original looks and promise of an exact fit!

Do you think a Ranger no-mod replica raptor "ford" grille is coming? I might be interested if it was a no-mod replacement.
I just installed the No Mod grill I got on eBay from Joe in Connecticut and once I got the original off, (a pain in the arse), the raptor grill fine like a glove.. no modification was needed.

I spoke to "Connecticut Joe" about 2 weeks ago, and we agreed that he should send a factory US grille to his manufacturer to use as a template so his grills will fit like a factory one with no need to trim or modify. I haven't spoken with him since, but he sounded like he was on board with the idea. I'll make sure to ask him next time we talk.
See the one I got from him below. It fit perfect as he stated.

Hey Robert! That looks great. Obviously, the quality must meet with your approval. Feels like the real deal, right?

Can you provide a link to ConnJoe's EBay account? (To ensure we're going to the right source!)

Can you take a picture of the gap between the bottom of the grill and the bumper cover?

Ill get it in the morning. And thank you for your video on how to remove and install. I broke some tabs taking the original sport grill off but in the end I love this look.

I'd appreciate it, just want to see how it compares to the OEM Raptor Grille. Those tabs were/are a pain in the ass!

Yeah, I think we're all keen to know how well the Raptor grill fits along the top edge of the bumper. Looks like the top and sides are bang on the money.
