Changed Badlands to Raptor Grille

[alancorman1]

I’m still waiting on one plastic piece on the backside of the grille, but wanted to see the difference while I’m waiting.

I'm really torn on this. I like the Raptor grill, but I think I may like the standard one better. I don't like the finish on it though that is for sure.

How easy was the swap? Bolt right up?

The swap is extremely simple. Until I get the plastic bracket the goes behind the grille I can't complete it though. The parts guy said 1/15 is the earliest they show it coming available. He told me to buy what was available at the time in case those parts become hard to get. Great salesman, but with FORD this days that was extremely believable.

My desire is all black and I like the FORD logo.

Is the Braptor grill available in more than one finish?

I'm in agreement here.

Both grilles look nice but I prefer the Badlands grille over the Raptor version. Although I think the Badlands grille looks better when painted black instead of the standard carbonized grey look (that's what I did).

Did you paint BRONCO black as well? Definitely unnecessary to make this swap, but the reason you buy a Bronco is to spend money unnecessarily.

I honestly think the Bronco Raptor grille looks worse than the other OEM grilles. Not just the other Bronco options, but also the other Raptor grilles with big block "FORD" lettering.

The Badlands looks much better.

Only one

Agree. It's great to be able to modify your Bronco to your heart's content. Sharing a pic of mine with the grille painted black.

Looks great

Nice. But I prefer the WildTrak grill. Nicest of all trim levels in my opinion.

Had Badlands came with the Wildtrak black this post probably wouldn’t have happened.

Agreed. The Raptor grill is painfully ugly.
