Nice parking job. Those fender flares look like they came off a plastic kiddie pool from Wally World.

They look like the plastic retainers used around trees/plants to hold mulch in.
Maybe Ford thought of that, and their dual purpose...easily removable...

Was not aware these were in the wild. Maybe Ford employee?
It's definitely a test vehicle. We have a bunch of corporate execs visiting the assembly plant today.

That's it. Just think of the money Ford will save using pools. Two $10 pools per vehicle. Really adds up over the long run.

I just feel like for the price of the truck they could’ve figured out a nicer on the eyes flare but guess not lol.
For real. That's some cheap ass shit. The Raptor name DESERVES a proper widebody. These are just some flares that look like some Wish Bushwackers.

Manufacturers plate.

Not really "in the wild."

It's almost like someone said "Hey, let's see how cheap and ugly we can make the Raptor look"? :facepalm: For what these are selling for I'd expect A LOT better than this!

Dave can push a lot of 303 to protect those flares...probably take a whole bottle just to give em one treatment.
Steve, I want nothing to do with that abomination. :puke:
