I'm more curious with what is going on here where the tow hooks should be and that loop thing hanging down below the license plate.
Several of us on the forum have a set up like that. Here's my front end.

But really, shouldn’t someone design it with a heat shield around those posts and make them look more like machine guns, à la James Bond?

Saw this in the Lowe's parking lot. Is it yours? If so contact me please I'd like to find out where you got the flame job.

If you wanted your Ranger to get flamed. You should have came on here and got flamed for free. :crackup: :crackup:. It was probably dealer installed.

When I was growing up, the mid-70's oil embargo and then emission controls had already put the final nails in the coffin of the muscle car and hot rod eras. But we still saw plenty driving around. I never did understand the hood & front fender flames, which were hand painted back in those days. Some of the artwork was truly amazing, especially on low riders.

But...why would you want your vehicle to look like you were in the midst of a fuel-line-meets-hot-manifold emergency? I've done that, and it's not a good excitement.

Can’t be. No chrome.
LOL says the guy with the Chrome trim pkg!

Seriously - your truck your taste your money, F everybody else.
Not for me, I would have gone ghost flames. But have no plans to do so. Maybe if I had a Raptor.

I can't see that and not think of this Ranger flame paint job.

Graphics? The only outward appearance item I added (actually removed) was the EcoBoost plaque on the tailgate. It now says, EcoBeast! Everything else I spent, went under the hood. Surprise!

You just sat there and took a picture while the vehicle was on fire with people in it? SMH people these days with their phones :LOL:
