Too much Raptor?

One thing I’ve been working towards with our truck is removing all areas of chrome. I like the blacked out look especially since the truck is white. The black wheels were the first step and still absolutely love them. The next upgrade on the list is the front bumper. I’ve liked the look of the stock bumper, except for all the chrome. And while I could have picked up a black version of the OEM bumper, I decided instead to get an aftermarket black Raptor look-alike. It was much cheaper than the OEM version, but that’s not quite why I went with it.

This version is black, it’s much simpler, and it gives us more clearance when off road. But is it too much like the Raptor? While the Raptor is a very nice truck I’ve never wanted to mimic or create a fauxRaptor. But here we are.

I still have the original bumper… I wouldn’t put it back on but I could opt to still go for the full black OEM version. I’d have all the extra parts – like the fog light housing and the air dam piece. I’m going to give it some time, then we’ll see.

This isn’t a super great comparison, but it gives a bit of an idea…
