Uin2it, I know you said earlier in this thread you got the bed graphics from ebay, do you have a link to the seller, and do they have different colors?

Looks good so far. I think you've captured the custom look without looking like your trying to be a fake Raptor.

Why don't you just throw a couple cans of plasti-dip at them. Your looking at a few hundred in paintwork and if you don't like it or change your mind, then its money wasted. Plasti-dip is about 10 bucks a can and if you use the glossifier it runs about 6 a can. So for less than 50 bucks you can get 3 cans of color for your bumpers and badges and two cans of glossifier. And if you change your mind, you can peel it off and try again with a different color.

Painted my badges.....Tried to fill in the "XLT" with JB Weld. Failed miserably, will probably go forward with a custom "Predator" decal on that portion, but with a background piece to cover the XLT now



Took another pic with the badges & Raptor steps on....

Do the raptor side steps have better "grip" than the factory ones ? I slipped and busted my leg pretty good the other day with the factory ford ones.
