Raptor vs Bambi Conclusion.

[tango68]

Back in August I had the unfortunate experience of a whacking a bambi, well after three months and $25,000 I can finally say that it is back to together and completed.
The initial damage took two months in the body shop, mainly waiting for parts and also upgrading the bumpers front and rear, doing a mid perch adjust, and adding Rigid lights.
When I got it back the first time the hood was not aligned correctly, the grille had been cut by the graphics guy that installed the blue Ford in the grille (and it was wrong colour), and the A/c didn't work (they forgot to fill it!)
Second visit they painted the grille matt black (Looks great!) installed a new hood hinge and new Ford letters.
Un fortunately they lost my Veterans front license plate, but I'm not sure where I would mount it if I had one!
Anyway I'm happy now.. finally, three months later.
So any Bambi's out there who feel like jumping in front of me... be my guest.

I'm thinking Bambi won that. How many Bambis could you buy for what it cost to fix the Raptor.

Maybe an ADD bumper is in order. I believe the Ranger would have done the trick.

Very nice looking truck. Thanks for posting your experience - after reading it before, and showing it to my wife, an ADD bumper will be ordered around the day I get a window sticker.

I love the Stealth bumper - exactly what I planned to do. LED bar on top, and the D2s or duallys angled out laterally. I'd just planned to get the winch too.

Your truck looks great & thanks again for sharing.

25k to fix, or total with your new upgrades? Gotta love when insurance helps cover some mods! Glad you got it back. Looks great!
