Let me Know what you think!
I think unless a those companies donated free product I would take the sponsor stickers off the truck. I would also take off that horrible fake mud off the truck...Besides the sticker the truck is the nicest/cleanest Raptor out there.

Looks badass
I think it definitely looks like its the business end of the raptor gene pool
The bumper/tire rack is awesome.

The more I see your front bumper the more I like it. I am not a big fan of the under-bite look so many of the others have.

All the proper looking bumpers like this, you have to cut your frame back. The stock bolt on bumper mounts that most use are so far forward that you can't get a good angle on the skid plate.

I'm happy overall with the plasti dip, made a couple offroad trips so far and its held up well! The finish isn't as nice as i'd like though and i'd likely go with a more permanent solution from the get go if i had to do it again. I can't beleive i waited this long to do the reflectors, much improved IMO

Took these last night. Kinda crappy cause i was "celebrating" heavily and didnt have a tripod or a steady hand lol. still kind of a cool effect though!
