Raptor Grill vs. Bronco Grill

[604Bronco]

So I'm assuming the Raptor grill will swap onto the regular Bronco. And if not, I'm sure it's a matter of time before an aftermarket company makes on that will fit.

So the question is: Would you swap your regular Bronco grill for a Raptor grill, like so many F-150 owners seem to do?

Personally, I prefer the regular Bronco grill. I'd much rather represent "Bronco" than "Ford." And although I have a "Raptor inspired" vinyl wrap on mine, I'm not trying to convert my Bronco into something it's not

You're a poser douche if you put a Raptor grill on anything that is not a Raptor.

What's your thoughts on the orange grill markers then? Technically not a "Raptor trait" but many folks seems to be installing them for a similar look.

The Raptor grill is ugly and even if it wasn't having F O R D plastered across the front of your car has been played out for a whole decade now. I've seen Ecosports with wannabe Raptor grills

Don't forget the "raptor lights"

Nah. A grill won't make it close to a raptor.

Some people like the classic Ford on the grill.

The same reaction applies.

From the perspective of a classic Mustang enthusiast, Ford encouraged customization of Mustangs from day 1... sold all of the GT and Cobra parts over the parts counter.

Only 4% of 65/66 Mustangs left the factory with the GT package... I was lucky enough to come across one almost 10 years ago (verifying one is an endeavor)... but I'm not a snob about GT parts on a non-GT Mustang... even to the point of a building whole "tribute" clone. Build what you want to drive... it's your car.

That said, just don't try passing it off (or especially selling it) as a genuine "factory" GT to an unsuspecting buyer. The price differential is there because the 4% makes it rare and desirable... no matter what the body style. Just my .02.

PS... I've got "Raptor" lights on my Badlands.

Lighten up, Francis.

The whole trend was kicked off by the Raptor though. No one did it before. Then every bro in their bro'd out F150 had to have them. Now every third car on the road has them because people lack creativity.

Doesn’t matter the Bronco trim. It was just a generic question on all Bronco trims grills vs. Raptor.

My ‘67 says F O R D on the grill and i would like to have them match.

Ford just added 4 ft wide fender flares to make the Braptor qualify for them, so same difference
