They fit, but it's a package deal.

Fits, however, the contour isn't the same as forayzor noted .....


*Notice the bulge gap between the fender and the hood.

As for me ... Will soon be undertaking a mod' of grafting a Raptor grille to the top segment of a regular F-150 grille. Brackets will be fabricated and bonded to the top segment (using JB Weld) that the Raptor grille will bolt to using the existing mounting points.

Have all the components just need the weather to warm-up and some time to do it.

that looks like crap.. its be easier to customize the stock hood.. bolt on the raptor gril and weld in a piece of sheet metal over the recessed area left from the old grill

Yup, looks like crap. Slather some bondo on the stock fenders to make bigger shoulders to line up with the Raptor hood! Then it would not look like crap.
