Aftermarket Bumpers and Technology Package (Adaptive Cruise/Collision/etc)

[ChevyChad]

People complain about the way it looks behind the grill but you can't hide it behind metal so if it's mounted on the bumper it'll be more obvious than behind the grill.

Aside from the ugly bumper (not mine), it's not that obvious or ugly behind the grill and it works flawlessly.

Definitely way better behind the grille! Thanks for the pics.

When you install the ACC relocation bracket does it work or does it need to be recalibrate at a dealer after it's unplugged? Thinking seriously about the Stealth Fighter bumper in the near future.

Yes, all you do is plug it in & you're good to go. No recalibration needed.

Did you guys do any testing with the ACC module mounted in the center of the grille? Seems that may look more aesthetically pleasing having it centered rather than off to the side...

I believe you will have issues clearing your hood latch directly in the middle. We placed it on the side because that is what works best. We have sold over 1500 bumpers for the 17 Raptor & that location has been working flawlessly. However, you are more than welcome to play around with other mounting solutions.

The brackets are powder coated black so they blend in well imo. You could get some black bolts to make it blend in even better.

I think the exposed one would be fine if they made a plastic cover coated in the same color as the bumper. That would be the ticket on fit and finish.

I didn't think about the hood latch. Good point there.

I am kicking around the idea of mounting mine on my bumper where my current 20" light bar is. I could put a smaller cube light on each side and have the ACC module in the middle. I would probably cut a section of my original lower grille to place in front of the ACC so that it would not be too obvious.

Very nice

What are the engine tweaks?

F150 towing mirrors?

Painted flares, etc or vinyl wrapped?
