Ford Motor company ..not too smart IMO
Im normally not a genus but I do tend to think I am when ... Im on the internet 
I would think Ford would have been smart enough to know that many truck guys would like the Raptor grill (because Its cool) and want one for their regular f150 ... in all their infinite knowledge why wouldnt you already know this and at least make it an add on option package for the regular f150 ...? I can bet you they would sell plenty enough to make it worth their while ..... if nothing else make it a special order aftermarket part for a regular f150 and charge 900.00 ..people would pay it if they wanted one bad enough ... I like the grill but aint no way Id pay more than 100.000 for any oem grill they are a flat out rip off ...300-500.00 for a piece of plastic they(ford) paid a few bucks 5-10$ and I could be wrong they may cost them even less than 10.00 ea so about 490.00 profit
..
Yours is looking great !

Yours is looking great !Part of the reason it's so cool is how exclusive it is. You can only get it on their premier F-150.

Hey All
Quick Update...
Prototype Parts have been made completed, supplier is waiting on a wood crate to come in so they can to ship them to me. I have asked for pics of the parts and I will post them as soon as I have them. Looking forward to getting the part in, painted and installed on a truck!
