    Are you going to ship them as people pay (once back from the machine shop) or are you waiting until all 10 pay before shipping?

    Cosmetic stuff.... best part HomerTaco Raptor Grille. Need to get a lift, armor and lockers.
    Does anyone know if the light bar and lights have a severe impact on the air flow through the radiator? I'm just curious as to how it may effect overheating since it blocks the grill. I realize brush guards have the same effect but there is more of a gap between the radiator and the lights to make up for it.

    Definitely not knocking your product, it looks sick and I'm a fan of the lights behind the grill. Gives it the "I wanna be classy but I'm hear to party" look.

    Hmmmm. I thought of that too, but I sit in stop and go traffic for hours in 85-90* days with no problem. The truck does have a fan so I would think if it got hot enough the fan would kick on.

    I have had many lights on other trucks, in front of the grill with no problems.

    Yea it shouldn't be a problem at all... any mesh grill (grill craft/jamoshi/satoshi) with lights behind it will be about the same surface area blockage as the stock grill anyway

    Hey Guys I'm going to have the bars powder coated with a satin black light texture it costs a bit more but I will eat the extra cost I used it on some of my jeep parts and love it!! It's more durable and lays down better;)
