Default When will someone make a raptor grille!!!

I have looked and looked and I wish someone would make a raptor style grille that would fit our trucks. I'm getting pretty tempted to break out the welder and fab something up at work with some laser cut letters. Anyone seen anything yet ?

Not yet....but it's a good idea. The problem may be that Ford wants to keep tight reins on this look exclusively for that truck model. I'd emagine that a company would have to pay Ford a large sum to copy it and manufacture it for the other model trucks.

I may just have to come up with something. I work at a steel factory with multiple cnc lasers and I have access to all programing. Hehe.

Perhaps you'll make a few and sell them....I'd be interested in this look. I used to have the "old billit style" grill, but removed it a couple of years ago when I saw every other truck, regardless of manufactuer, had one. The look got old.

This would be fresh. I'll watch to see if you offer such a possibility.

It will definitely be a bit of a challenge to keep it looking as stock as I can while adding a bit of customization to it but it'll be fun. At work now sizing up a sheet of aluminum as we speak actually. Lol Monday might be programming day.

Ford Raptor Fiberglass for 2004 and newer F-150

Contacted them via Email 09May requesting grille pic's. Was told that they would take some and that shipping would be $60. After getting no reply to the 2nd pic' request, sent a follow-up Email indicating desire to purchase. Have yet to get a response.

May just be a phishing scam.
