Added more Matte Black Door Handle Guards & Cups

I don't think they were lying. They were offering an opinion. Something you should expect when flooding the forum with images of a truck that's loaded with stick-on accessories.
Some will admire your handy work, others will be repulsed.

He's quite the snowflake.

how do they stay on - do they clip in place?

3M tape with 3M adhesive promoter. They won’t go anywhere else.

Just curious, why not just replace the caps with the OEM black ones? N1WZE22404T

First, these are ABS covers protecting the handles. Second, I have no desire to remove the OEM color scheme, I’m protecting what’s there. Third, cost to even attempt to purchase is prohibitive ($40+ per handle) and are for the Ranger, not the Raptor. Additionally they're gloss painted black and clear coated, subject to the same scratching and damage as the Ranger Raptors.

So, these covers in IMO, are the best and least expensive alternative, which goes along with the Raptors matte black trim color scheme.

"Protecting" by completely covering it and never seeing it or enjoying it and creating a headache when the 3m tape has to be scraped off by the next owner and the paint gets ruined. Seems legit.

Thanks for the explanation and the positive first experience in the forum! I came here to learn and learn I have.

As promised some day photos of the matte door handle covers.

Sorry to go off topic but do you have the Air Design cab spoiler and trunk lip installed there?

If so, on their website it states that they aren’t compatible with Raptor models but can’t think why?

The issue I have is that mine is a UK model so our brake light is integrated into the trunk, not up top like yours.

 

[RANGER/HOBB]

Yes, on both accounts.

Not an issue of fitting for the Raptor obviously.

I believe the UK third tail light is integrated just above the unlocking handle, correct?

You can see the spaces made available for the handle and the cab spoiler. These fit well on the US model.

Well decided to add the cup door handle cups as well. Like the result and added protection.
