GEN 2 Anyone Run OEM Front Bumper w/o Wing Ends??

[WillieFlo]

Does anyone on here run their Gen 2 without the OEM front bumper wings on it?
Do they serve any real purpose other than to hold light pods? Looks like they are just for aesthetics.

I like the look of prerunner bumpers without the wings on the ends and open to tires, but don’t want to cut front chassis or replace center OEM section. Anyone running OEM like this already with pics? If I remove the wings, I’d relocate my Rigid pods with an NFab Prerunner light bar mount on center section.

i was always under the assumption they were there to allow airflow to the brakes under hard conditions. but i dont have any proof

I like that look alot as well! Easy mod to do for under $200 with the addition of the N-Fab Prerunner bar in the middle. It gives the truck a higher appearance in the front as well. Doubt it has much if any impact to MPG that all Raptor owners give a crap about(LOL!), and I doubt it makes much difference to road noise. However, I think would go one step beyond, and trim up the front portion of the inner fender plastic, so it isn't as visible or hanging down below the headlight bezel. THANKS for posting your responses gents!!

On the video. The camera shot as the Raptor rolls over and past the camera....
The spare tire looks like a big ol ******!

I feel like some tubular style wings would be great.

Before I ordered my ADD Pro Bumper, I removed the OEM wings just to see if I liked it or not. I gave it a few days, it just didn't look right IMO.

There was a company manufacturing replacement tubular style end caps for the stock bumper but I cannot recall who it was.
