I think the Raptor Grill is HOT!!! Does anyone know if it can be put on a 2009-10 crew? I think I would have to get the Raptor Grill and Hood But I really like the look! ,

It's a completely different part. The Raptor's schnoz is wiiiide.

BUT, here's the good news. If you buy a Raptor grill, it comes with this insanely cool truck bolted to it!

isn't it only the flares that actually protrude out to make it that wide?

Otherwise, it should be about the same size I would think. Something to find out, to be certain.

I want my 09 crew to have the Raptor Look !! I need more room than what the Raptor offers.

I am not sure how much different the entire front clip is on the Raptor. The best that I can offer is that you get some measurements & take a look at attachment points between a "standard" grill & then go do the same on a Raptor.

Both the front fenders & box are modified...in addition to having the wheel-well flares. It is the combination of the two which pushes it to the point where the Raptor requires the clearance lights.

Look at a non-raptor hood, vs raptor. Raptor it is flat side to side. On others grille protrudes up into hood section. Not even close to same.

power kid is right.

you would have to get the whole hood unit, I think.

Which might not be that bad...hood looks kinda nice but dunno how it would mate up with the rest of the pickup. It looks almost like the "power dome" is more "shallow" on the Raptor compared to the other models. I am swapping back and forth on the ford website switching between models. It is either more shallow OR the fenders are taller as well as wider. man...makin' it difficult to make a cheater-raptor.

Only matter of time before some aftermkt company offers raptor looking hood for reg F150s. I hope its soon.

*crosses fingers for at least a grill*

ETA : looks like the headlights are not as wide vs 04-08 models. 09+ push the signal light down for more grill.

yes the overall raptor stance is 7'' wider then the 09 f-150
