Lexard NAV screen protector @$20.00. I tried some cheaper solutions but this was by far the easiest and cleanest to install.

I've edited the title. Better?

Another one: exhaust tip delete. A few minutes with a hacksaw and that exhaust is out of the way for good! Total cost? $0

I did this a long time ago, but I hacked off the muffler too!! My Raptor is beyond loud.

" Ruger Then I took the factory tail pipes off, primered them with high-temp primer, and then finished them with two coats of high-temp black matte. Cured them in the oven per the instructions (a three-step process), and they look terrific. See photo."

I did the same thing and it looks good . Don't know about you but the paint is holding up on mine like new .
