What are the chances of getting.....

The grille for the new Raptor and slapping that bad boy on the front of my X? I need a replacement grille, but I dont want anything shiny, so I thought the Raptor grille would rock on my truck.

What do you guys think?

The new Ford Raptor. No blue oval up front, just a big ol F O R D in black all across the grille. There are a couple threads about it on here somewhere.

For those that have never seen a Raptor, here's some pics and an article on about it.

A Raptor grille sure would be interesting, no telling if it would be doable.

I would love to get my hands on one and make it work. I have an idea that I need to look into.

Well I won't hold my breath, with the current state of the auto makers and the economy they are changing, canceling and postponing projects like there is no tomorrow!

True, but I'm telling you it's coming out.

Its possible that it can be postponed but it will not be canned completely; its already production ready. What you see is what your going to get.

I plan on being the first in Colorado to get the Raptor. I bought the third X in Colorado in 2000, it was a V10 and I loved it. I've got an '03 7.3L now and will never part with it.
