Default Barricade and Paramount Raptor style grill's the same?

Question, try digging around for this info but couldn't seem to find it.

Is the Paramount Raptor style grill and the Barricade Raptor style grill the exact same thing? Made by the same people but just resold under different brands?

I'm thinking of going the Raptor style grill on my 12 but I want it in black and not the gray that the Paramount style comes in.

Was thinking of getting the Barricade style grill which you CAN get in black and then adding the F and D letters, but says those letters only work / fit for a Paramount grill.

Heard a few people mention that they thought the two grills were made by the same place and just repackaged but didn't know if anybody actually knew that for a fact.

It does.... while some people like the Boost-bars version I and many prefer Paramount Raptor style... I belive both are the same. if you do a search some have had them painted all kinds of colors... mine matches my truck pretty well as is-

think its 500 ish with all the letters. but Reid (the guy that sells them) has put alot of work into it and it shows.

the boostbar ones flow with the lines of the 09-14, the paramount ones are to hard edged and fit the 15-17 better.

I agree. Wish the boost bars was the same price. I'd have one yesterday.

The paramount grill looks good at its price point...BUT I'd recommend the boost-bars Raptoid grill. Well worth every penny!
