Yeah it just doesnt look right for some reason. Id rather see less plastic, and more open space like the original Raptor grille. Then it would look pretty cool.

They cut more out of it. Still need to see it painted and mounted. I'm thinking all black with chrome mesh behind it might look good.

It is still ugly as hell... Why not do something unique with the grille around the ford letters? At least it's not an outright copy of the entire raptor grille..

When I looked at their Facebook pics, some of the stuff they are putting together looks like utter garbage.. Maybe it's just me.

They need to make the outer edges of the "F" and "D" separated from the outer ring.. That would look 100 times better and also give the option to paint the grill one color and paint the "FORD" letters a different color.. and NO mesh behind the grill.. F150s are not Honda Civics.. This grill could be really nice if the designer is open to suggestions.. I would like to see this grill in person and help them tweak the design!

Also, Does this outer ring replace the OEM grill surround, like the Raptor? I hope so!

Nose job

It looks good to me, I installed one and painted it. Haven't got around to spraying the red top section yet. But photo shopped it to see how it would look.
The photos are in my garage. I wasn't into the expense of changing the hood so this worked for me.

I am very suprised that no one here has checked out the manufacturer of this grille. This is an aftermarket fiberglass/plastic part folks. Haven't you heard horror stories on some of this stuff.
This particular company, McNeils, is mentioned in this well put together thread on this very forum......... and most of it isn't good:
