more than that. Appears more like the sort of Fiberwerx widebody fenders for chase trucks

obviously the lowers and bumper means it’s not actually a chase truck like fender in stance, but it does seem to be wider in form than the raptor panels

I had a 2.6 second ride in my early years but I almost passed out flooring my 4 second Pro the other day. Should I keep repeating this?

That uneven panel gap though...

I noticed that too. Hopefully the center lightbar is straighter than mine.

Are they going to throw in driving classes so you don't immediately powerslide it into a telephone pole?

Pretty sure that requires only an adjustment of the hood latch?

Leaves it to being more of an oddity that Ford didn’t make that adjustment on the truck.

Mine is twisted. I had my dealer look at it. They said there is no adjustment on it. When it gets warm out I'm going to do the LED emblem install and I'll try to straighten it myself.

I'll be darned.....I guess we have a universal problem Houston.. My LED bar is up 1/8" on the right and my bumper sticks out 1/4" farther on the right.
I can fix it cause I have a lot of tools...I think? LOL
But.. I can't find a flaw anywhere else on the entire rig. 150miles on it and I like it more every mile !
Cheers

I’m disappointed no one has taken delivery by measuring all the panels

anyone know how tall Jim is? Looks like the top of the truck is at his nose height. If he's 6'2" that's about 6" lower than stock.

Good point. It definitely looks a few inches lower than the current production version. I'm about 5' 10" and mine seems about 4-5 inches taller than me.
