Could just buy a raptor throw a twin turbo kit on it and presto!!:p:p
Raptor is so wide, drives like a boat, and has a poor towing rating. I like mine to feel like a truck -- but I'm definitely on the "give me the raptor grille and hood" bandwagon, they're badass looking, but by no means do I wish my truck was a raptor. If I wanted a raptor, I would have bought one -- not any cheaper than my FX4. The raptor guys just like to do the "hey look at me I bought a grocery getter that can jump over ****". If they come out with a V8 ecoboost raptor, count me in, in a few years, but if I'm to have only one truck, FX4 is what it'll be.

That's the way I felt about it. I could have bought a raptor but I needed a real truck so I got an fx4

Plus, the max tow mirrors we have are badass. I see you got your truck in raider flavor lol, fitting.

Your looking at some major fab work right there. It would be nice if someone made a ABS peice like that for people who want the raptor grille. If you're good with a dremmel and a saw the cut style wouldn't be too bad. I was considering doing it myself, but I think it looks kinda tacky. I like my c-clamp grille.
The guy that made that was planning on building them for people, but pretty much quit responding and posting after those pictures... 'Twas a shame, sure he would of had a lot of people buy those.

Yeah lol. I ordered it, wanted black or red but wife liked grey the best. I'm glad I didn't get black because it would look like garbage now. Can't keep this one clean and it's got a few scratches already. And red would be awesome but it would probably attract too much attention.

Mine's black... wanted the Grey (or red), but used is used. :( I'll paint it in mud anyways.

Replacing the hood + grille and then getting the hood rolled at a body shop to match the 150 lines is the easiest way to go. Getting it cut to fit.... Labor charges probably redic.
Incase anyone was wondering about what this would cost... approx $1,700. This would be with me providing the Raptor hood and grille assembly.
