Default So you want a Raptor grille (and hood) on your non-Raptor F-150 .....

Your shopping-cart list .....



In addition to the above you will also need the following parts ( for which I could not get pricing ) -
  • W705002-S300 - hood insulation clips *need 10
  • W505424-S439 - grille bolts *quantity unknown
CAVEAT - Example wholesale co$ts not from Tasca Ford ( retail co$ts are actual as of 02Apr2011 ). Pricing does not include any applicable sales tax and/or shipping co$ts.

NOTE: Total co$t could be reduced by using your existing parts ( hinges, lifts, insulation ) and eliminating the daytime running lights. -$436.99. Which brings the total down-to a reasonable - $1723.41

Ya I know ... I've got too much time on my hands.

Those damn dirty apes!!!! If you want to go Raptor, BUY a Raptor! lol

Are the vents on top of the Raptor hood functional? I wonder if you can buy the vents and do a lil tweaking to save some of money.

No. They are not functional. They are just decorative.

You can't do it without changing the front fenders either.

Yeah - I'd probably just save up and buy a raptor instead if I wanted to go that far. The farthest I would go for model envy would be Harley Taillights (already have) and maybe headlights too since the black outlines looks so much better than chrome on my white 2010 FX4 - which coincidentally they are now offering as default design with 2011s.

Wonder if the Raptor fenders fit the normal F150 hood. I'd rock those with some custom prerunner rear flares. I like the normal F150 grille better.

Pre collapse of 08 there would have been a aftermarket Raptor look grille(No new hood and fenders required) out in the market in 6 months.

New aftermarket products seem to be painfully slow to market.

Another example: You can buy black trim for tailights of all the older F150s but on the 09+ which have the white looking outer trim that 99% of us HATE there is no option in the aftermarket. They'd sell a million of the things.


Quick Reply: So you want a Raptor grille (and hood) on your non-Raptor F-150 .....
