Yea I don't want to replace the bumper... yet anyway. I think the lines look sharp.
I've thought around putting my plate on the Skid, that's how I had my old rig set up but that was an aftermarket bumper with a much more aggressive bash plate angle. Stock raptor I don't think I could get away with it, wish I could.
Well then like I said you're pretty much stuck... Unless you wanna go the DIY route you mentioned... But if we're envisioning the same thing I think it'll look tacky...
My 2 cents anyways...
