Default Custom Raptor-style grille, camera mount, Magnetic/matte, with amber LEDs & emblem

OK, I'm going back to a Platinum grille, which should arrive in the next day or so, and I'm putting this grille up for sale. I'll ship anywhere in the lower 48 for $235. This may sound cheap, but I want to be sure the buyer understands the condition.

The original build thread is located here. All of the details on this grille are in this thread.

I painted the emblem, and I did a bad prep job, looking back. I've had it on since February, and it's picked up some chips. You could touch it up or use your own.

I painted the mesh matte black and the frame Magnetic Metallic, then clearcoated the whole thing. It's an excellent match. There is a small spot on the bottom of the frame that is spotted from some rubber compound that dripped on it while it was drying. I see there's a white line on the driver side in the photo, as well as on the bottom part of the frame... that's wax residue. It's not scratched.

The OEM camera mount is trimmed to fit and epoxied in, and you can fit your camera right into it. It's held in with some hot-melt adhesive; you can secure it how you like. Alignment is factory, spot-on.

LEDs are from Amazon, cut and fit into the stock housings. High-quality harness is included.

For this build, I wanted to have a very smooth build-up from the mesh to the emblem, but I wasn't successful. I've taken a photo of the area around the emblem. Now, you could drop your own emblem in here & be done with it, or touch it up. You could instead use a 13" Super Duty emblem and improve on the job I did. I get compliments on it all the time, but I feel I could have done better.

I'll consider trades, and provide a discount for pickup in Tampa/Clearwater. I accept PayPal and I'll pay fees.

I expect to pull this grille off probably this weekend, maybe next. I'll ship via USPS Parcel Post. Thanks for looking!

Oh how tempting this is. Especially with me being in Seminole this weekend and my truck being a Magnetic XLT Sport...
