I think it would be easier to just modify the first and third letters.

How is that easier than bolting on new ones already made?

Two bolts per letter. Four bolts and you're done

The other way takes actual time and reconstruction of ABs plastic.

I'm not finding any for our generation trucks, but I haven't put a whole Lotta time in it yet.

I believe I want to buy some spare letters and a spare grill as a back up, should anything ever happened to mine

So a couple of things to note here.

First off, there's a ton of these things on ebay for $20 listed for "2015-2017", thought the bolt up patterns appear to be the exact same as the DODD raptor grilles from Paramount. So if you have one of those grilles already, do us a favor and buy a set for $20, tell us if they work.

Second thing is that I just bought a complete retrofit kit that will show up on the slow boat from China.

They won’t, I talked to multiple vendors and also the guy that used to sell the kits on eBay, he said there is multiple sizes.... 04-08, 09-14 and 15+ are all different. Most all on eBay are the 15+

The way it sounds like is that paramount is some how tied to this raptorgrills site for $100 letters, seems like after talking to them they don’t offer letters due to Ford infringement yadda yadda but told me to look there. Paramount also released a new grill... new matte black and the older dark grey. Randomly they said to make sure you have the right grill color when selecting what letters you purchase. Leads me to believe they are affilated some how and
the only ones selling both black and grey letters in all years. Werid.

the " F O R D " Size ( L x W x H ) = 33cm x 11cm X 6cm -- letters size
