Default Installed raptor style bumper and Rigid fogs

While I realize this mod isn't for everyone, I wanted to try it and see if how I liked it. I'll hang on to the stock bumper, but may part ways with the Morimoto fogs. The Rigids are so much better. So far, my only dilemma is, do I change the grill out to the raptor grill or wrap the lower portion of the raptor bumper in black to match the width of the upper grill.

Anyhow, I bought the ProZ bumper from autoanything. Turns out the bumper is actually made by Paramount. From Stage 3, I bought the Rigid SAE approved fogs and a pair of flood lights (wired up using an aux switch).

I had the bumper painted. I didn't want the entire middle part of the bumper color matched, but there was some miscommunication between the shop and myself. I can always wrap it in vinyl down the road should I choose.

Looks great. Had to remove the crash bars I’m assuming? What color does it come originally?

Man. Why wouldn’t they make the center lines straight with the grille? That would bug the **** out of me.

Nope, crash bars are still on. You can see them if you are looking from the side view. Don't really bug me enough to justify removing at this point.

I would get a matte black raptor style grill without the FORD or the center bar. I think it would look pretty awesome without going full on Raptor clone. Personally, I know you didn't intend on color matching the entire bumper, but I think it looks better that way. At least it is different from what 95% of others are doing.

I like it a lot. How much did they charge you to paint it?

$300 cash. Used a local shop who was one of the only to reply back to my quote request.
