I got the grill from a seller on eBay. The Anzo headlights were from stage3motorsports. I followed the install video on YouTube. Wasn't that bad really. First time I ever do something like that. So it's doable with some patience.

Man what an improvement that Raptor grill is! And i thought the 5 bar looked good.
Undoubtedly the best truck grill out there.

I've seen Raptor wannabe's a few times on the road and even get fooled sometimes in my rear view mirror until it passes.
Around here there are probably more fake Raptors than the real deal.

The aftermarket grill I have fits perfectly. However, the original OEM Raptor grill doesn't and will need some trimming.

Ad the grill. Who cares if people think it's a wanna be. It is hands down the best looking grill available for our trucks.

I have a Raptor style grill on my 08. People do ask me if it's a Raptor, but I just tell them it's a Raptor grill on a standard F150. I get a ton of complements on it.

I think it looks great. Who cares. I have an XLT with chrome package. I think a chrome Ford would look great. I was looking at the Barricade grille. I'm assuming I can find chrome letters, but how do they attach to the grill?

It's definitely the best grill out there. It even fooled the service receptionist at the dealer when I was taking it in for service. He thought it was a raptor from afar. That made my day! hahaha

Adding a Raptor grille doesn't constitute a wannabe. Put the flares, the running boards, the steering wheel, the suspension, the bumpers. Still not a "Fraptor" �� But put actual Raptor badges on it, that's a wannabe.

Important to point out, the aftermarket grilles do fit great, but if you have the 360 camera setup (e.g. there is a camera mounted in your front grill) you will need to custom fit that. I had to do that. It was time consuming but not overly difficult.
