Gorgeous truck. Wish it didn't have the wrap but I understand why it does.

Been slammed, but i thought i'd share a quick pick of the truck as it looks with the new Wicked Performance bumpers on!



Fit and finish are great!

The lights work really well too. Here is a comparison.

Here are the stock lights



Brights

I've never been a huge fan of the Undercovers due to the "plastic" look. I like the A.R.E's, but the downside is the weight.



The painted to match Undercover is the hot ticket. Only weights in about 58 lbs, yet looks very clean on the truck. The model also has a sort of build in wing to give it a nice look.



The first thing we noticed was how well the cover appeared to be packaged.











Install was pretty simple, and with the reduced weight compared to an A.R.E. or other heavy brand, the time from start to finish was maybe 20 minutes.







Charlie hard at work!







My man Gary lending a hand. If you think Gary looks familiar, go back to your Kansas City Chiefs or Tennessee Vols roster from way back!







The finished product looks great on the truck! A little bit of snow today, but you get the idea!















The cover also comes with a preinstalled light which is nice.







With our trick bumpers in the process of being built by the guys at Wicked Performance Shop, we figured it's time to get to work on the fender flares.



We pulled off the fender flares (without breaking one clip I might add!).



We thought about going with a line x coating for that look to match the bumpers / running boards. But, due to the thickness and worry of scratching the oem paint, we decided to go a different route.



What we will be doing, is scuffing them up, adding "rock guard" to the flares, and then painting them with a flat black. This should give a slight textured look to the flares, and provide excellent protection out on the road.











how do you like you raptor i am going to upgrade soon and not sure if i should go with the raptor or 08-10 f250. i have a 06 f250 and want to chip but my motor cant handle being chipped.

These two trucks are on two completely different sides of the spectrum. What do you even want to use it for?
