If only wildtrack had a black interior & a manual trans, the tan colour on the dash especially kept me from ordering one. Still don't understand why ford did not have basic black as an interior colour
Seriously. I paid up for an OBX sas lux over an equally equipped WT

The true OG goat is a First Edition all black interior with Lightning blue, followed by an antimatter OBX sas on roast…don’t make ā€˜em like they used to

I parked next to a 1st edition last Friday in lighting blue. I really liked it, if it came in a MT I would have one

I thought it was just the fender flares that were bigger but something based on the grill makes me think the Braptor a wider truck overall.

You're not wrong, but it's not the grill...

The actual fenders (not flares, those are obviously different) are a bit wider and so is the lower lip/valance below the grill to reach said extended fenders...

A wider front end swap wouldn't be impossible... Just need quite a bit of parts... And to see if mounting points of the modular OG Bronco fenders match those of the Raptor.

Who's gonna try first???

It’s ugly and an abomination, lol I like Ford and I guess I missed when the few Heritage grills got released a year or so ago. Bought mine when first released so in for a total of about $600. Wife like OBX with soft top to match black and the Raptor to match MIC. Color coordination is important.

Also you can still get for around $1k, unless maybe long distance from our friend @flip.

Badlands grill for the win. It matches the MIC top. Even better with the optional wheels sporting the carbonized gray rings. If only Bestop would make a friggin' gray sunrider or skyrider.

for anyone who painted their badlands grille gloss black - what did you do to prep it, and what product(s) did you use? how's it holding up to chips and such?

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

Same question here but I’m going carbonized gray. Thinking maybe a body shopis needed for durability but I’d rather spray with a rattle can if I can find a match.

A good automotive paint shop retailer can match factory code AND put it in a rattle can for you.

Just my unsolicited opinion. The raptor flares are hideous and if it’s not a V8 then why? I’d like a nice mustang rumble under that hood.
