I'd love a Raptor grill for my 2016 501A. I have the camera on the front grill under the Ford logo. Is there a Raptor grill that works with the front facing camera?

 

No one with a front grill camera has added a Raptor grill before? Is it as easy as just cutting out a little piece of the grill to install the camera? I figure it would need to be mounted in the same exact location as previous grill?

 

doesn't the raptor have a front camera, if it does, just need to see how it is mounted....

 

The stock Raptor's front mount camera is sort of stuck into the grill. I'd assume you could buy the housing using a Raptor with a camera's vin for a part lookup then adapt that to any aftermarket grille.



Also may want to look at the Shelby models. I think they mount behind the grille and have a cutout in the grille.

 

Thanks all. I found a write up a member did here. Since I want an aftermarket one, not oem, I'll just need to grind out one of the "honeycombs" below the O/R as seen above and basically glue/ziptie the camera housing there. A side from that, an aftermarket Raptor grill let's say off Ebay should pretty much be plug and play onto the grill housing of a 2016 Lariat?

 

I installed an Ebay raptor grille on my 2017 F150 with the front camera option about a year ago. I used a guide that I found on this forum to mount the front camera and I haven't had any problems.
The Ebay grille I installed was pretty much plug n play including swapping over the shutters and included the F & R letters.

 

Guessing it was this guide?

Which raptor grill on Ebay did you purchase? Thanks.

 

Yes that is the guide I followed.

It was a US seller for the grille but it looks like he's not an active seller anymore.

 

I'm having the same problem and my truck is a 2017 F150 Lariat 502A. The letters haven't came yet just the grill so how do I do this? It is at body shop now and want to give them the easiest instructions.

Thanks,

Cole

 

I followed the guide that was mentioned a few posts up. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/grill...8/#post4890222
I just slowly trimmed a little at a time until the camera was nice and snug then super glued my front housing in. Then place your camera in and zip tie the back housing to the front.
I didn't get mine at the exact perfect angle so when using the 360 view the sides and front aren't perfectly lined up but it doesn't bother me.
