Default Raptor "Ford" Insert

I want to change something up on my truck for the remainder of the winter and I was thinking about Plasti dipping my wheels and leaving the lip chrome as well as getting the glossifier to make them look some what legit. I was also wanted to order a Rapter Ford insert to change my front end up a little bit.. My question is, for those of you who have the Rapter grille over a billet grille, how did you attach it? I know its a little easier with a honeycomb but I'm not too sure how to with a billet.

Do it man. If you get a steel one, just weld bolts onto the back. That's what I would do if I got one

I actually thought about that but that's it I could find a welder.. Do you think it could be done another way? I'm sure I could figure something out but it'd be nice to know what people have actually done lol

You could drill holes in in and bolt it with flat head carriage bolts.. But then you see the head

Thats what I did, you only really notice them from close up, I don't think they stand out too much at all

The bolts might look cool if you got some with a head similar to the RBP logos and left them chrome, then space them out to get kind of an RBP logo feel.

Unsure about the black wheels however, never been a fan, and I think the chrome POP's on yours.

Yeah if you put rivets round it it might look cool
