Helpful tips welcome.

Installed in 30mins last night. Hardest part for me was just getting the bumper valence piece to clip back in the metal clips when reinstalling. I did not take the metal clips out like the instructions stated, I could not seem to get them loose.

Nice! More places to mount stuff....

Tony beat me to it but I also did my install. Easy and yes about 30 minutes.

Be advised though.
This is designed to utilize the 2 bolts in the upper license plate mount for securing the grille. Some of us (like me in Michigan) do not have a front plate and because of that no bolts to secure it. I used zip ties as a temporary measure and will have to get 2 bolts to make it right. Stage3 and Putco need to know this and I’ll contact them.
All in all I like the look - it completes the front and now no big holes.

Looks like another thing to add to my list to order! That looks really good.

Pictures are dark. We don't need front plates here in TN either but the plate mount and bolts came with the truck, just not installed. Sure they are not stuck under one of your seats?

Finish? Asking wrong guy.You need to ask #apotocki or look at the web site posted...
I just took his picture and enhanced it for him so you can see it...

Which finish is this ?

Its just the black finish - I ordered it from Stage3 back in January and it was the only one offered.

Thanks for the updates, guys. The pictures help a lot too. I just checked my glove box and have the spare bolts. Seriously tempted to get this from Stage 3 and the Raptor grill as well.

Installed. Pretty simple, bit annoyed that 2 upper valance middle clips did not come off with the valance, other than that went well. Pulled a good amount of leaves and road debris out from underneath.
