Some quick photos after install with the OEM Magnetic Bezel. I’ll post up some better photos, install notes, general impressions, and quality comparisons to the OEM and Raptor style grill later.

That looks great man!!!! Goes really well with the blue! Good choice on keeping the magnetic bezel.

I wasn't a fan of this when it first got released but now that im seeing it on a few real vehicles (not just marketing pics) it is definitely growing on me! I was considering the Raptor grill but since I'd be doing a swap to be somewhat "original" i've taken the Raptor grill off my list and this is now at the top. Looks good!!!

Anyone else having issues with purchasing from RTR? It says it can’t ship to my address. Denver, Colorado is where I live.

I want the one I saw a pic of that has a light bar mounted in the center where the bar goes across the grille. Anyone seen that available yet?

Half the rangers I've seen in my town have the knock off raptor
I thought I wanted a Raptor knock off grill myself but this right here is making me not want one. They are a dime a dozen now and everyone has one.

This grill looks great... on the other hand, that price... You may be the only Ranger in your town with one at that price.

Great looking grille but I think I still prefer the Raptor one. I really like the LEDs in this one though!

You can probably modify the RTR grille to match this style, it just a cutout with a mount added. It may look a little off because the grille is slightly curved and the light bar is straight. You can see it’s not flush if you zoom in. I’m not sure a curved light bar would work either, because the arcs might not match. Some vendors use multiple smaller bars to handle the curve, like this one from RBP.

Personally not a fan, seems like a weird random design to put in the grille. Like paragraph symbols or coat hangars on there side lol but to each their own.

I hear you. I had initially intended to do the Raptor grille, but as you said, they are a dime a dozen now. Not sure about the RTR grille so I'm sticking with OEM for a while. I did white out the Ford emblem to match the truck so I'm gonna stay with this for now.
