four bye you can pick up the grill on ebay by searching for "raptor style grill". I'm about to send mine back to the seller for a matte black version. PM me if you want me to send it to you instead. $175 and its only been on my truck for about 30 hours.
Good looking rig you got there!!
Saw this thread and was going to post I just so happen to see one of these today............on a black eco diesel............and now that I’ve scrolled thru the thread I think it was you!
Happen to be around the Seven Hills area today?
I think i might pick up this grill in matte black for my white big horn.. How hard is the install? And how are the lights wired in?
I promised some pictures so I took a few before removing the Raptor Style grill and putting the stock one back on. I have decided now that I want a factory PXR black crosshair style grill but I haven't found one just yet. I guess the pig snout will do for now. Below you can see the fit issues with the raptor grill. If you look from the right angles there is a gap all the way around the grill like it should have been made 1/4" larger. It might not bother most people and really didn't bother me much but it was just one more little thing that led me to remove the grill.

The gap you have on the bottom is because the grill isn’t snapped in properly down there in the bumper cap, you can see the what the grill is supposed to snap into in the pix
Yea they definitely used a “good enough” mold to make the grill. It really looks good if your just looking at the truck but if you examine the grill directly you start to see some flaws. I returned it in favor of something OEM but I know most people are happy with theirs.

Sorry I misread your original message the first time. The grill I received only had two clips on the outside of the bottom to snap in, nothing in the middle. I did see the places where the OEM grill snaps in and there was nothing on the after market grill to go in there. The fit on yours looks much better than mine and I think I would have been happy with it if it fit like that.

That was me. I live right next door in Ceder Mill, it's a small world. So what did you think of the grill? I'm still a unsure about it but I haven't sent it back yet. I'm thinking I might get it paint matched or I might go with something else all together. There's a little gap all the way around that bugs me as well. Ill take a few pics tomorrow for anyone reading along thinking about this grill. I would really rather have something all metal but I also want it ALL black and all the RC, t-rex, etc grills I see have silver rivets or big logos.
I also didn't like the stock grill at first but now I kind of miss the old pig snout... I'm conflicted.
