Alright so I cant decide on which bumper/grab bar to put on my raptor 700. I have the orange/black 07 SE and will have a few more black parts being added (black pro armor nerfs being the biggest). I also have a few billet/silver pieces such as a few covers and the barkers.

I am between three different bumper and three different grab bars. I want them in black...so the ones that do not come in black (prm stuff) I will have it coated at my local shop. (probably gloss black...or a gloss/matte mix).

I have seen a few pics of the grab bars so I have a good idea what they look like (leaning toward the prm desert just because the pro armor is so dang expensive!). I cannot for the life of me find a picture of the tag bumper (or even one of the copy-cat knock off ones) mounted on a raptor! I like the simplicity of the design, but I also want something that will flow with the plastics. The plastics obviously come to a point and the tag is just flat accross...so I would like to see if it makes the front look goofy or not.

Here are the three grab bars:

^That is a link to a LTR grab as I could not find one listed for the raptor. Same design though.

Here are the three bumpers:

If anyone has any input on any of the bumpers/ grab bars it would be much appreciated! I have had PRM products in the past and feel good about their quality/strength (and price!). I know the pro armor grab is pricey and also is a PITA to install....

One last question...Do all 3 of these allow me to keep my brake light? I noticed on ebay a lot of them were called "race" which they designated may or may not include taillight mounts. I would really like to keep my tail light!

Thanks in advance guys!

PRM-ATV "Control Series" grab bar

I really like it for moving the quad around the garage, trailer & unstuck  :thumbs:

I have the PRM Z-plate for the swinger, so far its great
I'm thinking about getting the "Control Series" front grab bar also  ???

I recently called PRM & they told me they Powder Coat, in this months Quad or DirtWheels I noticed their advertisment & it lists/shows color options
