The one from Boost Bars with the Ford letters looks reasonable. First thing that came to mind when I saw this one was, "Poser". If it ain't a Raptor, don't try to fool anyone, it won't work.
There are a couple Raptor like things that work, but this isn't one.

Having a Raptor style grille that says FORD is fine because it says FORD. If you don't have a Raptor then having a grille that says RAPTOR on it is just plain poser.

I'm with the others. I have no problem with Ford on the grill. Just like I don't consider the grill lights pretending to be what it isn't. They're just cool lights.
Now saying Raptor, isn't any different than slapping a F-350 badge on it.

I would go for it if it had Ford on it, but I imagine they would be more for the agreement to use their name. Not willing to drop $500 on one, but do like the light kits for the grille in my FX2. XtimberX, I like your grille lights, what brand are they and do you have to splice them in?

I don't think theres enough floor space for the amount I would slouch down if a real Raptor drove beside me. The OOOO ones look ridiculous in person...this one, is a worse concept. Some foreign company should just throw FORD ones on there and then disappear quickly lol.
