Raptor grille at my local dealer is over $900! I couldn't expect people to take that and adapt. My kit will be the whole kit and caboodle, I will even hopefully be providing the upper portion painted to match. May be a few colours I can't do but I'll figure that out soon. Worst case they'd be primed ready to paint. Feel free to PM me

Definitely interested in one of these adaptors. I'll find a grill on ebay or a junkyard.

I will be offering a kit all inclusive for less than an OEM raptor grille.

Do you have any progress pictures, or at least a concept picture? I'm curious to see what this will look like.

this thing is a bitch to fabricate.. I made 2 different versions of it that looked good, but when I opened and slammed the hood the joints would crack out or something.. still trying to figure it

What needs to happen is it made out of glass, then molded then vacuum molded out of ABS as that grill gets the hell beat out of it when opening and closing it.

Contact me direct for more details. Design should be done any day now and moulds can get started. This won't be a hokey fibreglass set up that will require fitting and sanding to get it in. It will be an OEM style replacement. Sorry to keep you guys waiting but good things come to those who wait :-)
