New Grille arrived today!

[mURmECH]

Really excited, new FORD grille arrived in the mail today. I've changed a few Ford grilles before and this grille is factory with all the ford markings from a F150 grille that I'm used too. This takes over 30 days to ship BTW, it comes from Thailand. Only thing I'm missing is my truck, it is getting shipped tomorrow from what the dealers are telling me. Pics are posted.

Really cool! Can't wait to learn if the geometry exactly matches that of our NA grille design. Fingers crossed!

Also, my Lariat has been ordered with the “Magnetic”-colored Sports styling package, which includes the trim ring around the grill.

I presume the “Raptor” grill is all black. Do you think the Sports grill ring can be made to work with the Raptor grill?

@mURmECH is this the $500 one from Ebay?

Looks awesome @mURmECH !

Like all other interested folks here...looking to hear your thoughts on fit and install.

If you have to trim- can you show where you had to cut away?

Looking at it stock, the ring does not look like it will be a fit right out of the box however with some modifications it might be possible, but I don't wnat to be the first one to hack mine up, personally I'm not a fan of the ring but I can see why some like it.

Correct, and I might add, it was very well packaged, I give it to the guy! I'll give him an outstanding review on Ebay, only con was waiting for it to arrive just like my truck LOL, that's another story

I'll definitely show where it needs trimming and what I used, might not be the most conventional method but it will look great. I know @j0shm1lls might be installing one soon and hopefully he beats me to it otherwise you're going to have to wait until I get my truck, this grille will be on in the first 12 hours lol. I know some have mentioned a gap on the bottom lip and looking at the Ranger Raptor there seems to be a gap there as well. too me it makes no difference, it isn't that large of a gap to where its noticeable.

My problem is I want to do it when I can document the process. Working 8-5 and having a newborn doesn't lend well to late nights in the garage lol. I WILL get it done this weekend though!

Congrats on the new addition to the family! (not the Ranger )

Joe, are you the seller of these? Could you please post a straight on shot.

And, can these be painted? . I’d like to do magnetic to match my sport package.

No, I’m not the seller, just the guinea pig

The build quality looks great, and the overall look appears super sexy. However, the discrepancy of the lower geometry and the gap ruins it for me. For $500 I want it to fit perfectly, even with the minor modifications required to install it.

Easy fix for the gap / geometry is install the Raptor upper valance

That won't work, the front upper portion of the bumper cover is what fills the gap on the Raptor, it won't fit on the US Ranger.
