Paramount raptor grill?
#261
Looking at other Pictures the small gapping at the headlight appears normal-
however in not sure about the gapping at the hood-
does anyone have the light bleed coming from the top. my wife thinks im crazy as it looks great (not the bleed but the grill) I did the install without directions-
so obviously removing the old grill the clips broke-... the Raptor grill had metal little clips installed.
was i supposed to be using any part of the old clips. it seems from memory the side hole the clips fit into were awfully big making the raptor grill clips not clipping to anything....

How's she goin' eh?
I didn't reuse any on mine. Some people experience breakage of clips.
I also noticed a little fitiment issue with mine but shrugged it off. It looks pretty consistent with my spacing.
Here is a close up of the gap plus a small chip on the edge. Like I said, I shrugged it off. <br/><br/>I don't have better pics of the gaps and my truck is at the alignment place getting my 5100's installed.

Correct, when I took my old grill off there were just oval holes. A couple clips came wth the grill, a couple stayed in the holes. I was lucky none fell into the hole but I remember reading about someone who had that happen.
I have not hooked up my lights yet. I don't remember reading about that happening.

Ya, I think that was me. The thing rattles everytime I open the hood falling towards the windshield. I think it's funny when someone else hears it. I just tell them a squirrel stuck an acorn in there.

I lightly banged on the top edge to make it seat closer to the edge of the hood.

It's a paramount/EAG one. They are all the same. The bar is removable, letters are removable. Whoever manufactured them was smart, made one base with 2 overlays.
I've posted other pics in this thread.
