Default New Raptor Grille

What do you all think of this direct fit "Raptor" named grille for our regular f150's? Instead of the OOOO's its RAPTOR. You can get it with Chrome or gloss black shell with gloss black or matte black insert. Here is the link

Looks strange to me, like the lettering is crammed in there. Could just be the picture, but it's kind of hard to read.

Kind of weird since our regular f150s aren't a raptor...at least the regular raptor grille just says Ford and makes more sense

It looks a little tacky to me. But I have tendency to dislike the aftermarket Raptor style or OOOO grilles

I'm kinda thinking you get what you pay for here.. But I still wouldn't mind seeing one installed to get a better idea. I say go for it!

You could put f-350 badges on your truck too if you like ...
Didn't mean to sound rude .. just the first thing that came to mind ..

If you like it ... go for it ..

However I'll be honest if I seen it coming down the road I would probably laugh ..

Get the ford one...
Or the oooo one ..
That would look more appropriate IMO

those OOOO grilles look goddamned silly. hella stupid.


would you put "FORD MUSTANG COBRA 5.8L SUPERCHARGED" badges on a base V6?


if not, why would you put something that spells out the name of an SVT vehicle on the front of your non-svt pickup?


I hated having SVT centercaps on my raptor rims, I cant imagine having that on the front of my truck. do they have one that says "POSER", but spelling it using those letters rather than r-a-p-t-o-r?

Ford one or don't do it at all.

OOOO is stupidest one by far. The fact someone created it thinking it would sell and the fact some people actually bought it and got all the way through installing it without rethinking that decision boggles the mind.
