I wonder if Shelby will redesign the truck in 2019 to be more inline with the new refreshed body style. Besides I would imagine that the 2019 Raptor will get the new refreshed front end and Ford will then stop making the 2015-2017 front end components. I guess what I’m getting at is Shelby may redesign the hood with a matching grille in 2019. I know that doesn’t help now but it might be a thought for your future builds.

I wonder what custom scoop inserts that match the 2018 Limited Grill would cost. Maybe on a CNC.

Well I値l probably just leave the hood alone. Not trying to put too much aftermarket stuff on this truck. I really want to build a 2016 regular cab. Like a lighting style, Shelby parts, lowered ...

Was planning on doing an aftermarket raptor grille and anzo headlights on my 17, but the look of the 18' sport grille has really started to grow on me. Would you say it's a fairly easy swap for the front end (hood excluded) ?
