VIDEO: Ford Maverick Raptor Style Grille Full Installation Instructions & Product Review

Just finished a lengthy installation project - a lot of work - of the new "Raptor" style LED grille for the Maverick. No instructions included, video covers it all including an important harware issue you need to know about before digging into your own installation.

Going to attempt this install this weekend thank you!

excellent diy video whether you are adding F O R D or not. the letters are just too big for my taste, Jessica Rabbit big.
was there any mention of UV resistance with this product?

Agree, the lighting is a legal requirement for wide vehicles, and the grille is for raptor models....

Hybrid tiny truck is not a wide raptor. Haha.

I dig it. I don't know why, but I do.

thank you for going through with this lengthy project for us!
I thought about it but feel like it would take at least 4-6+ hours like you mentioned so
I will be passing at this time lol

If you T-Bone another car you're going to leave a huge embossed FORD into the side of their car....pretty cool feature.

As someone who did this mod with very little experience doing anything bodywork related, 4-6+hrs feels like an overestimate. My dad and I did the full job in about 2.5 hours and I felt we were very cautious, especially when getting the bumper removed. While there are no instructions included, if you watch some front bumper removal videos before hand the rest is pretty straight forward. If anything my front bumper fit and alignment is better now than it was before we pulled it.

Great to see more detailed how to on this but wanted to share my perspective related to the time it may take someone.

I think if they want to make an aggressive model out of a little truck then they should name it something like "Ford Maverick Mosquito"

The only catch is that it's not compatible if you have the adaptive cruise / CoPilot 360 that has the sensor in the grille.
