I know there are plenty of threads for the raptor grill but has anyone seen or tried the raptor style bumper. Saw this on American Muscle's website. I think it looks pretty clean and seems to fit well with the rest of the truck. Not as expensive as other off road bumpers. Made by Barricade. Not sure about it's durability. It says you would lose the fogs but as handy as some people are I'm sure some nice aftermarket fogs can be added on. Thoughts??

i may pick it up, and then paint it to match the color of my truck. As for the fog lights, i will probably make some type of brackets so i can retain fog lights.

find this link of a truck with the grille and bumper installed on a truck: https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wh...-6-custom-rims

Wow that looks great on that truck. I was thinking the similar thing in terms of painting to match the rest of the truck. If you do get it, post some picks of the fogs that you intend to install. My only hesitation now to buy was I didn't like how the crash are stuck out on the pix I posted. Couldn't really see them on the link you posted, but not sure if he cut his off, and I'm trying to keep mine. Hope there will be other pics from others who show something different.

From what i understand with the bumper that AmericanMuscle offers, you can leave the crash on the truck. However people can cut them off for a cleaner look. I also believe if u remove the crash, it gives you more clearance to run larger tires.

Yea i will definitely post some pictures if/when i get it. If i get the bumper may have to measure the opening compared to the 2010-2014 Factory Raptor Bumper. Would love to add something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-White-LED...RUbflW&vxp=mtr to the bumper

Those would be sick with that bumper. Otherwise I'd just get some square dogs and mount them in the opening. I think this would look good in black on a magnetic truck with black fender flares. Hmmm ideas

I love my five bar grill so I wonder if cutting out that center honeycomb section and adding a LED light bar would look good. It's pretty tall though. Fab a five bar grill lines into it. Lol

The brand that makes those is Paramount I believe, they also make the raptor style grill and fender flares. I was looking at them when I had to replace my bumper (don't ask) but they don't ship outside of the continental US, so I just went back to OEM. But I definitely like the look.

yeah those lights would look pretty nice if they fit. As much as I like the look I'm more into keeping my crash bars. There's just some things I don't want to mess with. But I have to say that would look pretty clean.

I'm pretty sure you'd lose adaptive cruise too if you had that. Just something to remember/think about.

I've been looking at those a while.
Originally saw them on ebay. Made by Paramount Automotive.


Now AmericanMuscle and Stage3Motorsports sell them.


Best deal I've seen is around $570 on ebay. I finally found a Magnetic Metallic truck with one on it. The finish is lighter than the Magnetic. That was at a dealer I believe in Texas and the truck is now sold.


I'll be replacing my bumper in December with either another factory one or this one.


The Paramount truck is Blue Flame.

This is one I found searching online. I believe it's Magnetic Metallic
