My 06 Screw project

that or if you are really serious about it and going to repaint the truck anyways, maybe look into actually painting them on so it is under clear coat and everything, cause with the sticker they scratch easy and over time will fade i bet and not be as black as they should be... i thought about that but didn't want to spend that much money, especially when i didn't know how it would look on my truck when i put my graphics on it about a year and a half ago...
Ill show you when I post pics , the edges are trimmed wrong , the gaps are all wavy , the area where they molded the svt fender vent in is horrible , big bubbles and rough looking! Im planning on cutting out where they molded it in and ordering the plastic vent inserts from ford and making them work, the way they have it would take a month of sundays to get to look halfway decent. A good bodyshop can make anything work , but itll probably cost you just as much if not more than what you paid for the parts from McNeil to get these parts to look factory. I havent actually bolted the fenders or hood up so Im not sure about the overall fit , but when I held it up to its location the gap along the front door edge weaves in and out like someone looking to get a dui. I think they trimmed off way too much in one area Im probably going to have to fill.
I guess these parts are made by Mexicans over the border , the old man obviously spends all his time racing around the desert in his baja truck, while his 2 sons man the fort selling all kinds of stories. As far as quality control ....um "cough cough" , who knows where that went.
While speaking to Perry , it seems I'm the 2nd person to ever order these parts , the first person got a set of raptor bedsides that didnt fit (1 inch shorter) so after figuring out why they didn't work they had to quickly make the molds 1 inch longer for our trucks. The raptor bedsides weren't even test fitted on a regular f150 before they shipped them out. Maybe in time they will improve on their production , quality and turnaround time. I hope so anyways.

I know I can make them look like factory , but if someone brought me these parts and wanted me to make them work on their truck Id probably be inclined to tell them to go elsewhere. Its always different when its your own stuff.
I ordered the factory little black vent inserts for the raptor fenders. Them little pieces of plastic are $75 each at 10% over ford cost.

I tried to take a picture in different lighting to show how crappy this was , trust me it looks awful in these pics , it looks 10 times worse in person. My camera aint the best.




That would be very hard to make. Honestly that isnt that bad for what they are trying to do. They should have left it out and just used the OEM vents.
Also read up on other brands of any fiberglass fenders, they never fit right.
