Whatever color it is, I'm just glad to not see the silver/gray front skid plate and lower silver/gray part of the bumper.
Awwwww……. I actually like that feature of the BRaptor. 🤷‍♂️

Your Raptors-In-Black look great. You guys did nice work.

If you haven't, I would ceramic coat them as soon as you can.

I have owned 2 black-out Expeditions.
1st one showed everything. After 2 years, it always looked dingy, even right after washing and waxing it. By the 3rd year, I was starting to not like the look of constant dirt, dings, swirls, scratches, and so on.

2nd one, I drove from the dealership to the detail shop and had it ceramic coated. That helped a lot in protecting the finish from dirt clinging and the swirl marks. Didn't help much with dings and scratches. But it improved the appearance for about 2 good years. But again, black shows everything.

For me, I don't buy black cars anymore. I spent too much time cleaning them, and worrying that they needed cleaning.

But I still love the black-out look. Very cool.
Thanks for being willing to wash it more than most. ;)

Looks amazing. Does the bull bar on the front bumper block any of the camera view? Who makes it?

What's odd is that nothing on DV8's website matches yours. Not only do theirs have a cut out logo on the mounting plate but they don't show a mini bull bar that has matching radii (to yours) at each end of the tube. What they show on their site is totally different than what you have.

I do see Mabett has one and a plethora of others on Amazon that look to be a perfect match though...
