KNOCKOFF Ford Ranger Raptor Grille

[Osage]

Installed. The key to removing the OEM grill is indeed the vertically-oriented side tabs, which you can't really see from the video.

Just the outside and letters.

So the shop owner said you know what would be cool? Paint the letters blue to match the truck. . Now I am thinking I might need an extra set of letters. . Maybe Joe will sell me a set that came back with a damaged grill.

Gregg, saw your grill at Brad's shop this past week He's a top notch guy and Patrick's an excellent painter. They've kept all my cars square over the years. You are right...he has an eye for what looks good on cars' trucks. I had a new diffuser painted and installed at his shop. I worked with Patrick. When I picked it up Brad said I should have painted the matte black gloss. Sure enough I was back there getting it done.

My Magnetic Lariat FX4 (when it shows up) will be in his shop getting ceramic and some spray on paint protectant we discussed...can't recall the name now. Hopefully he'll have his tint operation up and running.

Jeff, I agree about Brad and his shop, he and Patrick helped me pick the correct color and it looks perfect. Very positive experience with him. For anyone else in the Louisville area we are talking about 360 Express In Jtown. He mentioned that he had another Ranger to do. I am also planning to have him ceramic coat mine. I used Auto One on poplar level for my tint, bed spray and Xtang cover. I have had many vehicles done by them and have been very happy. I hope you like your Ranger as much as I do mine.

My rainy day projects complete. Grill and dash cam installed. Thanks j0shm1lls. Your video was helpful for removing the old grill. I had particular trouble with the center clip releasing, but I am very happy with the results.

Next up. Do something with that front valence. It needs to be darker. Thinking about wrapping in carbon fiber. Or painting dark, Magnetic or black?

Since I'm going to steal your idea to paint the grill letters to match the body, I've gotta know:
What would you do about the two light-colored sensors on the valance? Replace them with darker ones, as on the bumper, or do without them?

Definitely not do without. One shop told me he has covered them in vinyl and they still work.

I think that looks good. Also like the tow hooks and lettering.

I placed my order this evening..within minutes he called to chat! Nice guy, and he knows his stuff.
