Default Raptor type grill

Anybody got any actual pictures of what a raptor grill looks like on a f150 XLT? Or a similar grill on a f150 year 2011, or 2010.

I want to see what it looks like, before i might can take the plunge.

Unfortunately, to install a Raptor grille on a F150 you have to replace the hood as well. Makes it an expensive upgrade...

It baffles me why aftermarket grille manufacturers offer tons of fugly grilles like the one below rather than doing something similar to the Raptor grille...

There was a thread on this somewhere. Maybe on the other site... Someone is making one that fits the F150 but I can't remember who!

McNeil Racing Inc offers them. They just came out, so call and ask for pricing. Here's a pic.

id like to see one installed on a truck. And that looks like its ready for paint instead of just black plastic. $300 is nothing for a custom low level production grille

Yup, McNeil racing.

But it is fiberglass, unpainted, designed for racing instead of street use, not yet in production, and unclear if it can be installed without also installing the rest of their fiberglass bodywork!

Is that the production design?? I saw one that had more cut out so it didn't block as much air. It would make sense that they'll prob only make it compatible with the rest of the Raptor kit! lol

Yep, i seen these already, but i yet to see one installed. As i stated on my main thread. Does anyone have some actual pictures of something like this or similar installed???

I know who makes them, i just have not seen any around and would like to see them.

The one shown on the image looks like a prototype. I don't think it has enough vents for air flow. So that would not be a good idea to install something like that on your truck. Considering it's blocking a majority of the air flow. I know i would not install it like that.

Let's see some pictures of these installed!
