Anybody heard of a bodykit being produced to make the regular F-150 look like a Raptor. It is sure to happen, just wondering when.

 

Here ya go: http://www.mcneilracinginc.com/2011/...or-conversion/

 

Figured someone was doing this ----THANKS

 

dang id love one of those grilles. I wonder if it would llook good on my truck? im hoping yes, but thinking no lol

 

to get the grill you have to have the head lights, to have the head lights you'll need the hood, to get the hood you'll need the fenders, and then the bumper to make it look right. lol no way to have just the grille..

 

hhahahaha danget :P

 

So does anybody know about the quality of these parts. This truck is for the street, not off-road so I need excellant fitting parts and I'm not sure there is any such thing in fiberglass

 

I have a feeling that those parts are gonna fit like typical fiber parts they fit but not great you will most likely be having to trim and mod them to fit excellent...

 

Ya most likely have to sand them to fit. You could get a body shop to do it if you cared that much

 

I just viewed Ford's website for a real Raptor. Seems wider than a stock F-150. Would I need wider wheels if I used this bodykit?

 

the raptor is definitely wider that the reg f150. by looking at the picture of the f150 on that website with all of the raptor fiber glass parts I would say that you dont have to get wider wheels. IMO.

 

The raptor pic on that website seems to be a real raptor not a rebodied truck with the glass parts.
I would like to see the actual products.
They also dont have the front bumper nor the upper bumper.... both key pieces for the conversion especially on the 04-08 trucks.

That is an old trick that the kitcar companies use, and I don't like it!
I called McNiels yesterday to ask a half dozen questions on their kit. No one answered. Just a recording to leave a message for "Mike" , or some such name. I left a message but never got a return call. Not very professional.
Anyone ever dealt wkith them?

 

oh sorry XD im just not used to seeing the screw raptors.

 

McNeil is known for quality off road racing parts. However since it is produced by McNeil I would say that trucks been long traveled and therefore you would need to be wider.
