Could be modded with a little ingenuity and would fit better than the retrofitted stock grille that was posted before.

 

Definitely finish school if you have the opportunity to. Opens up A LOT more jobs. If you decide to get a job as soon as you get out get your resume done now and start looking, start applying around July no later than August. Good luck man!

 

thats what i figured. hell maybe one day ford will listen to people and make one

i say you should get one and figure it out and send me pics and tips on how to do it haha

yeah thats my plan. i am going to have jsfirm do my resume and have them as my plan b...however if they can find me a job out in san diego that i can work and go to school that would be perfect

 

Quite a few jobs out in SD right now. I am also living life in the 'Stan right now. I think that picking up a raptor hood from the junkyard, cutting out the vents, welding them in the stock hood would look the best and be the cheapest way to go about it. That is if you want to keep the stock front though. That is what I am pushing towards. Think it will look great

I know this thread is a year old, but I have been looking for the same grill for my truck and I believe I just found it and it's only 300 bucks. Go to this link and scroll down and look for the correct year for your truck.

Idk, all that mcneil stuff looks so tacky to me.

 

Ford is trying to make the Raptor somewhat exclusive, it's what keeps the resale value up, and if the market gets flooded with knock off looking trucks the resale will drop. My understanding is getting certain replacement parts can be a nightmare because ford doesn't want a lot of fraptors around.

 

I sell FORD overlays to fit trucks with most aftermarket grills. You can find them in the for sale section. Or email me at kylepattoninc@gmail.com
