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

I have to say it looks very clean. Just wish I didn't have to give up my crash bars. I think it would look sick if painted to match the truck whichever color the truck is

Thank you!! That actually just talked me out of it. I was hoping it was more of a vibrant black color to go with my magnetic.

Im surprised no one has come out with a decent light that fills the raptor opening. I have seen rigid lights, but they do not look right at all in the opening. Maybe a led light bar to fit there. Come on aftermarket..

that is a valid point. However, for someone to make a certain light for a different manufacturer bumper can be tricky sometimes. IF an aftermarket bumper comes with LEDs, then most luckily the manufacturer has their own brand of LEDs or they work closely with another company to develop a LED kit for the bumper. I dont think Paramount is a "big" company to have something like that done.

found another one on a red truck

2016 Ford F-150 6" Zone Lift , 20" BlackRhino Warlords, 35" MTX tires, Paramount Raptor bumper and grill with custom 20" light bar behind the bumper

That looks sick!! Did you remove or alter your crash bars so they wouldn't stick out the bottom?

Bump

Where did you find this? Did you get any information on how they mounted the LED Fog Lights?

Raptor bumper (and grille) are on my list of mods to do ASAP when I get my F150. The stock one just seems so... bulky. I know its for aero, but it just seems so out of place on a fun truck.

Putting a raptor styled bumper on lifts the truck off the ground for clearance (without making it any harder to get in/out) and makes it much more of a fun truck than a work truck, IMO.

Depends on the specific bumper. Some use a plastic cover over the radar units, but most are all metal.

I found that on a "google" search. It was a truck at a dealership

That's not my truck. I found that one on a "google" search as well.

Bump

I'm debating picking one up myself.

Are the crash bars very visible if left in place after installing this bumper?

They are very noticeable with the Raptor style bumper. You will probably at least want the trim the ends since they almost stick out under the bumper

Good to know, thanks :thumbsup:

Here is mine

Sick

Looks f'n awesome.
The fog lights... Custom mounting job? Did you use your excising fog light wiring to power them?

bottom two pictures are an actual raptor.. that is caged and linked

Im considering this bumper for my 2010 f150, does it bolt up without any mods?

Do you have any photos of how how your mounted your fog lights?

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...fcae33ea0d.jpg

Installed this eBay special last week.

Do you have any info on how you mounted the fog lights?

Thanks

Foh Lights
 

I'll see if I can grab a pic of my setup, but I went with an 8 inch led bar (single row) for my fog lights and wired them into the wiring harness for the factory fogs. The longer bar looks awesome and adds some great light.

I installed it by taking two flat aluminum bars and drilling a hole where the crash bar bolts are. These two bars were then attached to the truck and the open ends were used to mount the bar. It makes a big triangle but recesses the fogs back in the raptor style slot.

They sell mounts that attached to your crash bars.

liking that bumper on the regular f150. Just not a fan of the DOOD grill.....

Do you have a link to the seller?

here! best price i found so far... http://www.autoanything.com/bumpers/...icleId=6271919

Thank you for the link.
Does any one know the OEM part number for this bumper?

you talking about the OEM bumper for the real raptor? what year?

you could find "take off" bumpers for about 500/600 for both (front-rear) however, the raptor bumper does not look good on a F-150 in my opinion the ends stick out due to the bumpers being different on the raptor. . look at post #9
https://www.f150forum.com/f38/diy-ra...ersion-282486/

Can anyone who's installed this bumper give me an idea of how difficult it is to do?

Changing the bumper is fairly easy, YouTube it, I ordered the Razor last week, suppose to be here tomorrow.

Fog lights ?searching
 

How are the fog lights attached
