KNOCKOFF Ford Ranger Raptor Grille

[RJohans]

My order from CT Joe(ebay)came in today. I spoke with him over the phone, he seems to be a stand up guy.
There was a mix up with shipping, but he shipped it yesterday and it arrived today, so I'm happy.
Haven’t had the chance to install it yet.

Great! I should be seeing mine anytime soon then. Fingers crossed.

Good luck with the installation. Toughest part is the removal of the OEM Grille. There are several clips on either end and along the bottom that need to be released before it comes out. Hard to get to some which makes it tough. Broke 3 or 4 taking mine out but no damage to the trim pieces that hold it in. Easy installation of the new one and buttoning the trim back up.

Thanks for the tips!

Yes, he said he was away on vacation, but he resumed shipping yesterday.
Hopefully you’ll get yours soon.

Did he provide you with a shipping number in advance or did it just show up? Thanks!

It Just showed up. CT is just stone throw away from Long Island. (well, not really but it’s close )
Conn to VA, should take a day or 2 by UPS.
I suggest you message him on ebay. He responded pretty quickly when he got back from vacation.

I can see on my UPS app on my phone that my shipment with the grill is expected Friday. From "Auto Elegance" in Connecticut.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but it could save you guys a few minutes trying to figure out the order of how the plastic tabs are installed. (on Conn Joes Raptor grille)
If you look closely, the mounting tabs has numbers on them. This is the order I got mine installed:

Thanks to everyone here for the install pics and tips.
Also thanks to @j0shm1lls for the video that showed removal of oem grille.
Anyway, Just finished installing mine today.

I posted pics when I installed mine on my build thread.
