I'm loving my Raptor!, but I'm not in love with the FORD lettering in the grill. I like the look of the regular bronco grill more. Does anyone know if there is an overlay out there that I can put over the ford lettering or any other suggestions besides buying a new grill?

Not that I am aware of but others may know better. Not sure if the Bronco grill is a direct fit as the Raptor has different shaped fenders behind the grill than the Bronco (may be as I have seen Bronco owners post picks of OEM Raptor grill on), but if it is you can take your choice of Bronco grill type and replace the letters to whatever you want them to say in whatever color limited to 6 letters. A search on here will find many threads on how to do that.

EDIT: "RAPTOR" obviously would fit and be pretty unique. Not sure anyone has done that. They are a pretty easy swap. I was thinking of getting a Raptor "FORD" grill and changing every now and then between my Bronco grill with white "BRONCO". You will just need the three amber markers the are above "FORD" on the "Bronco" grill. They sell them aftermarket for the Bronco grills. Doubt a cop would notice, but annual state inspector garage might and worse case is an at-fault accident investigator.

I was looking at the RTR front grill but it's pricey. Looks like you don't have to put the RTR logo on the side of the grill if you don't want to.....Just not sold on that look quite yet.
and I would have to find lettering that would stick on.......

You could try highlighting the FORD in red to make it stand out more. I have seen several BRaptors do that and it looks good.

Yeah, if OP wants the big letters of the "FORD" I think the only way is painting the letters, but ya get your color choice.

I guess I'm glad I don't live there..... no inspections here, not even emissions.

I thought I have seen people swap to raptor grills with minimal differences - wouldnt the same be said going the other way?

This actually looks a lot like the Raptor grill except with Bronco letters installed and the three required amber lights for trucks wider than 80". You can install whatever six letters in whatever color available to be found online. NOW, I wonder how this grill looks without the letters as the OP seems to just want a letter delete. OP could contact the manufacturer/seller to find out what it looks like without letters and get pics of that.

Look through some older posts, there was some chatter about swapping with a regular bronco grill. I don't know why it would not work, you would just need to add on a kit that has the 3 center lights. You dont want to buy new so look around and you can find them pretty reasonable used
