KNOCKOFF Ford Ranger Raptor Grille

[j0shm1lls]

Is it bad that I'm thinking about ordering a knockoff to replace the OEM Raptor grille?

I don't know, Josh, it's kinda hard to tell exactly, but those photos do imply that the lower geometry of ConnJoe's KO grille looks to fit pretty darn good. I'm actually really quite surprised. No offense to ConnJoe, but I had very low expectations. Delighted to see how well the grille seems to nestle in there.

Look how much of a gap there is with the OEM grille.

The gap doesn't bother me too much, but I'm not digging the OEM's lower left and right "corners." The arcs in the body forms appear to be rounder/softer than the grille's more defined/angular associated counterparts. Sorry, Bro.

Yep, that's the other problem...

I don't get my rig until early May, but I ordered one of ConnJoe's grilles anyway. I have a sharp eye for these kind of details and I get bugged if things don't fit right. Fingers crossed that the replacement is as good as it looks in the photos provided by the other guys.

Got me one on order!

Me too.

Of course I don't have a truck to put it on yet. Projected arrival April 27 th.

BTW I see on Ebay that Joe is on vacation until March 31. So my grill may just beat my Ranger.

I’ll get some detailed close up shots of my grille tomorrow concentrating on the edges and lower section so you can see the fit.

I'd appreciate it. I have one in my cart already and am trying to NOT hit "buy now". lol. Wasn't there a 15% off ebay coupon recently?

Who is gonna find an amber light kit to put behind these?

My thought too, Jim. I've been pondering if I should wait for something to come out, or I should put together a one-off just for me.

Oh, yeah, and do we need a separate thread about the grill lights? ;-)

I waited a couple of weeks before a coupon popped up again. Paid off.

oh yeah, that's way better than the oem Raptor grille (at least in fitment), FML... Ordered.

I’m going to order one. Is the 15% off a user specific code randomly issued?
