Default Paramount raptor grill?

Does anyone have one of these grills on a 09-14. I kinda like them for being different but at the same time the original boost bars raptor grill is amazing. Considering going this paramount grill runs for 300 dollars also sounds ds good to me. So if anyone has any input/pics it would be appreciated.

It's a great deal for what it is. Very well made and easy to install! With alittle entry level body work you can make it actually say ford also.

What is said body work? I always thought the four Os looked bad but if they can spell Ford that makes it a lot more tempting..

There was a guy "Mario ramirez" on a different site who modded the original grill to have it say ford. It came out pretty damn nice. Another guy put the letters from the raptoid grill on this one. Only the "f" and "r" are removable from this paramount grill. For the life of me I can't find the site where the guy did the work.

I just ordered one from amazon for $227 with $20 shipping.

I copied what Mario did with his grill. About a day of work and I think it turned out pretty good.
Here's a link to the thread I copied when i did mine.

Looks fantastic, I have never done any bodywork in my life but do a lot of stuff myself other then actually taking engines apart. Think I could manage to do a half decent job on it? I was really looking into the Raptoid but it does cost a fair bit, and I could avoid getting PTM (hood cap on raptoid) if I went this route. Really displeased with how my POS billet grill turned out. Looks alright from afar, but its far from good.

Don't put it on unless you can make it say Ford. Otherwise, the DOOD grills are ugly as hell.

Not feeling that grill at all. Looks out of place on the 09-14 f150 At least the Boost Bars version looks OEM-like.
