Good point, the newer front fenders look totally different than the 04-08 styleside rears. It would look pretty odd. If you want to do something like that, then go all out and do a full body swap to all Raptor hardware.

Hey I have that same drill!

No I agree to do this just for kicks it's not worth it...

But if you where in a situation like Rodog was then why not....

The Raptor is the best lookin F150 truck in years IMO. If your going to do a front end conversion to a newer model, might as well do the rear too and make it look like a Raptor.

Heck why not just do the suspension too.
Would look kinda funny otherwise with the tires tucked so far under the truck...

Not necessarily....you could get some offset rims and it would look ok (not saying I would do it). Heck, I think if its what u are into, a slammed F150 with Raptor body components would look pretty sweet and one of a kind to boot

I love this idea!
Not an F150 expert.

Can anyone tell me if the body lines of the '09 and later fender would match an '02 F150?

Anything else besides fenders, hood, grill, headlight assemblies & front bumper needed?
Would you use the original header panel that holds it all together?

The show Trucks! or Xtreme 4x4 did a conversion on that body style to raptor but if I remember correctly they had the big baja fenders. I dont think you could use factory sheetmetal and get any of the lines even close without heavy fab work.
