SVT Raptor Grill mod
Anybody thought of making a SVT Raptor grill for the 09'-10' F-150? If anybody has or could I would be very interested in this. I know the Raptor is 7 inches wider than the normal F-150 so the stock grill wont transfer over. Too Bad.

I don't think the width is the problem with this grille mod, it's the fact that the hoods are different and the Raptor hood goes straight across from headlight to headlight. Take a look at the pics of the Raptor vs. the regular F150 front end. You'd need the hood and the grille.
The extra width is just from the bigger fenders...

I'm working on one right now, although it's still in the planning/drawing stages.
When it does get cut out (waterjet probably) I will have to either get a new hood (ram air with cold air intake) or I'll use the stock hood and get it reworked to accommodate the new grill.
I don't know if anyone else out there is trying the same, but no aftermarket parts are available at the time for what I can find.
