Is this the vendor that you guys have been ordering the Raptor grills from?

I'm on the fence about doing this and want to make sure I get the same grill that doesn't require any modification, except for shaving down the corners as posted in your video.

This is the one I bought from "Connecticut Joe". It does not require shaving of any part to make it fit. Joe was able to produce one that matched the OEM grill specs. Took me 30 minutes to switch them. Would have only taken 20 if I had remembered that there were clips on the sides of the OEM.

Awesome, I appreciate the info and I will probably be ordering this in the near future. Do you have a picture you can post of the front of your truck with the new grille?

Ok, for the life of me I can't seem to get the bottom clips to release. Where exactly am i supposed to stick the stubby screwdriver, it's hard to tell in the video?

There is a photo in my profile garage. I don't have one straight on.

I'll have them in a few weeks... Should be around $$250 with the lights.

Go back one page and look at my post number 294. I took pics of the oem grill out, showing exactly where the clips are located.

Also, go look at the video in the 1st post of this thread, gives a good reference to getting to those bottom tabs and where you stick the stubby.. there's a black tab you can see, you insert above that, between that and the grille... then, the one on each side you can just find with your fingers and push and feel those tabs release.

Ended up removing the plastic shield looking piece next to the drivers side headlight, giving me access to the one vertical tab on that side. After that was released the grill was loose enough that i could easily release the rest of the tabs, some of them with just my finger.
