There are only 6 Brackets on the knockoff grilles. 2 that fit on top and are attached with bolts, and 2 on the bottom and 2 on the sides that press in.

I got all six of mine. Two for the top, two for the bottom, and one for each side. They and their screws were packaged separately from the bag of letters. If your grille is missing them, and you got it from Connecticut Joe Micali, give him a call; he may be able to send them to you.

Do you guys think that this 2019 Ranger Custom Auto Works Raptor Style LED Grille Light Kit would lineup with our Knockoff Ford Ranger Raptor Grille?

Only one way to find out!
Here is their response:

Stage3Motorsports.com: Contact Form Response #29086

Hi Manny, Thanks for reaching out! This kit was designed to work with the stock grille, and uses the existing mounting posts to attach to. It will still fit to those mounting posts, but I cannot guarantee that there is not a portion on whichever grille you are running that will interfere with them. In custom auto works install video they do mention working on a kit that will fork with the Factory Ford Ranger Raptor grille, but cannot confirm that this kit will work with that grille yet. Here is the link to the install video for the current kits available. thanks, Joel [email protected] (623)434-5277 (877)578-2433

Sincerely,

Stage 3 Motorsports

the paint code for the grey trim is called magnetic J7? sounds like a weird paint code. tried a shop today and they refused to paint it because it "didn't come from my car". I started laughing

I'm trying something a little a bit more suitable for the wider 3 slot Raptor grill opening (lights not in yet of course)...

Magnetic J7 is the correct code but the shop I went to had a hand full of paint chips with each one slightly different. I took my truck to them for a perfect match.

any recommendations to fix a cracked grill? paint shop noticed a 3" crack on the corner during prep. Between missing parts, going to 4 shops before finding one that was willing to paint it. And not a crack. I'm so fed up with this grill its one big head ache after another. I'm temped to super glue the crack together and see if they are willing to paint it as it with no warranty on it. Not sure when the crack happened so I don't feel good sending it back since it could have been me and more $ for shipping.

Fiberglass from the back of the cracked area and then body filler on the front. Should look like new after paint!
