I ordered both galaxy moto raptor grill (no. Bar, no letters)
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F122218944928
And "paramount style raptor grill"
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F253200670503
Both look really good. I liked that the galaxy moto was already black. But I wanted to Ford lettering. Since i couldn't find the o and d only f and r, I decided to keep the paramount style one.and returned the galaxy moto one. Both were shipped super FAST! got them in like 2-3 days. I also wasn't feeling the extra lower lip on galaxy moto grill.... The lower bar of the F was kinda crooked.. But once on, can't really tell.
It's color is more of a grey ish.. So I did 3 (maybe 4) coats of plasti dip. Also, plasti dipped 2 coats on the leds because I didn't want to see the orange lense. And I believe they would have looked yellow as lense looked fairly clear.
At night, they look a dark orange that matches orange lights from. Headlights
Here are some pictures.
It was during daylight in garage.

Don't have any better images since I smoked a deer about 30 minutes after taking this picture.
Bought the grille from Walmart, letters from Amazon. No fitting issues, except the F didn't quite line up with the screw inlets. A little persuasion and some smaller screw heads and she fit fine.
LEDs are a true orange and look great. Slight blemish on the lens of the middle one but you wouldn't notice if you hadn't been told. Pain in the *** to install, as the old Sport XLT grille did not want to unbolt from the shutter assembly. Youtube was helpful, but I found some serious differences between the videos and my grille. Not sure what cause the deviation.
Sorry for the poor quality.

Plasridip is matte black shade. Try it out on a small spot. If u don't like it u can peel it. I placed cans in hot water between shots to help prevent it from texturing

Has anyone sourced out replacement amber LED lamps for the GalaxyMoto grille (or the Paramount one if lamps are the same size)?
One of my lamps, a rectangular unit containing 2 rows of 6 small round LEDs, now has more than 50% of its LEDs burnt out. I would like to replace all 3 units with amber lamps, either fitting in the grille openings, or slightly larger but requiring minimal trimming of the grille.
