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, we both know that Ford has made so many mis-steps with the Bronco it's became laughable. Interior accents, cheap plastic that scratches easily, and many more. I won't even start with that damnable MIC top that they haven't gotten right yet. So, I'm not really surprised at how the designers have bastardized (I like that word, it just isn't used enough these days. :) ) the Raptor.

I hope this is a homemade raptor an ford isn't installing those flairs on a $60+K vehicle. That guy parked like he's the jerk store's best seller.

Makes me want to park like this jeep:

It's a pre-production test vehicle. There's still time for changes to be made, but unlikely.

The guy in the next vehicle will probably add some sculpture.

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

Wait a few years for the sun to bake them too.

Is that fender flare finished in about the same color as the "mouth guard" and spoiler on the RS?

Hey, John. I just got back from vacation. Yes, the smooth portion is the same finish as the Focus RS grill cover and rear spoiler.
