    That's great! I am a huge mopar fan. That's a pretty respectable time at Bandimere. We have taken the Dart there many times to run it and for the annual Mopar Meet.

    So not that deep at all.


    I think overall it came out pretty good.

    To do a thin lip, did you have to trim down the support posts on the back of the grill? Do you think having a thin lip made the grill weaker?

    Bennet heres a pic of my thin lip satoshi .Not sure if this is what you are talking about but the bottom of the grill in middle didnt have to cut off to make it thin lipped But I did put epoxy puddy in back to make it more solid. Grill is still solid to. Used grillcraft grill . I dont think hommertaco was making those grills yet .Would have loved those.

    Thanks for the picture! That is exactly what I was looking for. You still had to trim a connection that held the factory lip to the the main support posts. I guess that shouldn't hurt the integrity of the grill though. I might be taking mine off soon and trimming it back!

    Very nice. I'm doing mine right now as well. If at anyway possible, can you look at my thread? I have a question about making the raptor grill fit flush and straight, instead of making it curve with the grill

    Don't have an exact number but a pretty high number. The plastic is pretty soft and I didn't want to scratch it up.
