Are you going to replace that "G" Georgia Bulldogs front tag with a Gators tag now? It would look great with your new front bumper.

Haha. I was thinking the same thing.


New bumpers look great!!!

Good to see some others in Jax on the forums. I'm all over town all the time. Big thumbs up to all raptor owners I see around town.

Now I'm just hesitant to see your truck in person b/c I will be very tempted to scrap the OEM bumpers. The aftermarket ones just look so much tougher. Time to bust out the wallet I guess. Decisions? Decisions? Love the venom front though!

Looks great! What are you going to do with your stock bumpers? Sell them on here?

It would be nice if someone could give FORD the feedback about extending the switch wires into the engine compartment.

Check out bStoner59's suggestion at glassworksunlimited.com Glassworks Unlimited 714-642-2587
"This bumper valance replaces your factory plastic cover, to allow for a clean look from our fenders to your steel bumper without having to have a custom bumper made. It will need to be either bolted on to your factory steel bumper, or bonded on with an adhesive agent."

Thanks for the compliments. I'll probably try and sell them. I'll check out the glassworks. I guess I'll have to lose the "G". Too bad. I wouldn't trash the Raptor with the dreaded "F"lorida though. Just wouldn't make sense. All the upgrades just to go down? Nope!!! Seriously Thanks!

Just fork out the money. It was hard for me to justify at first too. But now that they are on, it's a no brainer. Thanks for the compliment!

...I wish I could. Just had front ford wrapped in black and grey digital camo vinyl along with b-pillars, third brake light, and ford emblem on tailgate wrapped in gloss black. About to drop close to $3k on new tires and wheels so the bumpers are going to have to wait. And I'd like to put some retro'd lights up front b/c stock lights suck. And wrap the whole truck in matte green. And throw some other LED bars up front. And,and, and .......list goes on and on

Love those bumper...sigh, I see myself dropping another $3k on that too.

I really need to stop looking at all these other mods.

If you're doing heavy offroading, it probably would be an issue. Just don't like the thought of my hood being held down at 80mph by the flimsy piece of plastic. I'll call ADD on Monday and see if they have something. Otherwise, I'll make something.

Jarrett, your hood is NOT held down by the valance, only the hood release is connected to it. Your hood is actually latched to the frame that your radiator attaches to. So mo worries about your hood flying up.

You are correct sir. I was looking at completely at the wrong thing. Don't know why that didn't register. Thanks for the clarification. Still don't like the flimsy valance though. Checking with ADD tomorrow for solution.
