W.I.P. making custom billet style grill for Raptor

[Mjolnir]

Every so often a manufacturer nails something on the design of their car, for example:

Mirrors on the La Ferrari (albeit really stupid name)
Rear wing assembly on new Boxster S
The Fuch's wheels on the old 911 from the late 60's
the headlight /grill assembly of the 69 Camaro

and...

the grill on the Raptor. I have seen quite a few things I'd mod on the truck. the front grill is definitely not one of them.

The Icon grill looks like its made out of 5 pieces which I don't like and the FORD is missing which makes it look boring and plain.
The money Icon charges to build vehicles is outrageously stupid expensive.
Funny they choose to use ICON shocks but don't mention they are two different companie.

Just curious, but what does a new factory grill cost?

Ain't gonna disagree with you on that one, that's why I'm only modifying the original. If anything when all is said and done it'll look different and hopefully better than the original

so want the retractable running boards

maybe if i hadn't dropped a lot of cash on my house i could get them installed lol


on topic..... not a fan of how it looks like 3 different pieces.... also i like the big ford letters on the grille

I think it's safe to say FRF doesn't like my grill then. lol



After I destroyed my second factory grill, I had to try something else.

Yeah I see no need to upgrade, you can paint the stock any color you wish, and if anything is going to damage the stock one then it will also damage a metal one and you probably have many more problems to deal with. Curious to see what you come up with though

Quick update just started work on the grill. Just using the dremel and then 80-150 grit gonna smooth it out a bit better but she's a lot easier than I thought
