I think they only come in Silver. If I were doing this mod and wanted black I think I would have it covered with bed liner. That seems like the toughest stuff around.
They have to be very expensive new. I haven't checked recently but there were many listings for them on Ebay a while back.

Still one of my favorite mods to my F-150. Makes my platinum look different than every other one on the road!

Question for you boys, for those with an original front bumper, after removing the air dam did you remove the lower valance or eyeball and trim to fit the raptor skid plate in place? Looks like a SOB to remove the damn thing and reinstall. Any info would be much appreciated. Also the brackets don’t line up on my 16 so I will be fabricating as well.

Hey Scott, back when I had the original bumper I just eyeballed and trimmed the valance with the bumper on the truck. Looked like a real pain to remove the valance without removing the entire bumper and the mounting brackets. I just trimmed it as close as I could with some tin snips, then filed/sanded out any imperfections left from cutting.
Thanks! Good plan of attack.

JCROUCH and Co,
Thanks for your help, finally got around to mounting my skid plate, only 2 holes needed to be drilled in the rear, otherwise worked out well, going to do a little more trimming on the valance as well.

WTB front brackets
Looks good everyone! I just jumped on board this experiment with a little bit of a twist- I have the Galaxymoto Raptro style bumper with the small plastic skid plate front piece. I'm adding the OEM Raptor skid plate; looks like I'll need the coveted front brackets/hardware ; if anyone has any to sell?
Also; looks like I'm going to have to cut part of the plastic existing "skid plate" fascia as it extends beyond the OEM plate I'll be adding.... it's never an easy job when I do it, lol!
