I think the Raptor grille looks cool, but why would anyone want one on their truck that's not a Raptor? That would be like putting the Corvette crossed flags hood emblem on a Malibu. Same with the Raptor yellow LED lights behind the grille. That grille is so associated with the Raptor trim package, that putting it on an XLT, well......
If I owned a Raptor, and I saw a guy with either the grille or the lights behind the grille, I would kinda look at him as a wannabe of sorts.
It's the F150 version of fart can mufflers and adjustable wings.

Ya why does anyone put aftermarket parts on either? If you like the look, buy it from the dealer like that or don't buy it at all. Anyone that puts anything on their truck is a wannabe and doesn't deserve to drive.

It would be more like an owner of a V6 Camaro putting on the SS Camaro's front bumper which has a scoop on the front.
If were going to throw comparisons out there lets not do apples to oranges.
Am I trying to start an argument with you...? No, however I am just attempting to make your point more viable.

I think your point is a little drastic...since the corvette and malibu aren't the same vehicle or even relatively close that argument sounds over the top.

And yes, while it doesn't say Raptor on the front of the grille, and it does just say Ford, it still is only available on the Raptor, and every F-150 owner knows it.
I dunno, it's just an opinion. There are mods, and then there are things like the Raptor grille. Two different things to me.

You know what they say about opinions....
The guy makes them. If people buy- they buy. No ones going to hell over this.
It's in support of the brand.

Opinions have no place in this thread. The OP is simply letting people know what's in the works, if you don't like it don't buy it and don't clog the thread with useless crap.
