Love the hyper speed video. Thought I was the only one that used a reciprocating saw for Raptor mods.

Hell yeah buddy :superhack:

There's just about zero room for error at the corners of the hole. The face of the light tapers in at the corners so if I was off by 1/8" or slipped with the grinder then the light wouldn't cover it. I decided to get it 99% of the way with the grinder and then get the last little bits with the old trusty :superhack:

Truck is filthy, but I got the Raptor Al console leather installed today. It was a little tricky but it came out perfect. I was going to do a write up but about midway through I decided I was lost a little on how to trim the corners and didn't want to start making stuff up. If I'm not 100% about something it doesn't make for a good write up.

looks awesome. did u just wrap it or did u add any foam or anything?

Just wrapped it. I rest my elbow on my console when I drive so I thought the padding would wear out and look like crap in no time. As it is I already have a soft spot in my console from where my elbow rests. Should look good for a while.

Not a bad price at all and our man Raptor Al has a good operation going. Nice packaging, shipped fast, nice leather and the stitching is perfect. Highly recommended. Use lots of glue and set aside a couple hours for this. The corners are a pain in the ass to trim and fold.

That looks really good! Do they make one for a 08 f150 that says Rapturd?

How does the leather match? Curious, why go with MO stitch with the blue oem stitch interior?
