I haven't seen a picture of this posted anywhere so I thought I would take a pic of my Raptor to post. I think it looks sweet and makes it look different than all the rest of the blue Raptors out there. Unfortunately there were no performance gains that I could tell from this modification [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Heres the link to the pics Silver Grill Pics

Yes, that does look good on your blue Raptor. I will not be doing the switch to blue though on my black/white Raptor. Chet

Chet , Thats my name and I got it from my Grandfather. Its an early 1900's name. He had a barbershop in the 50's and 60's and the Sign outside by the barberpole read in big letters CHET'S BARBER SHOP. It was a one chair place right by the railroad tracks in Tennyson, Indiana. Maybe 100 people lived in that town but they would come from the surrounding area to get a haircut. I remember on Saturdays it was none stop flattops all day long. If you ever watch the old black and white Andy Griffith shows and at Floyds barber shop look at the chair and the picture in the background with the different hair styles of that time period. My grandfathers chair was very similar and he had that exact picture on his wall. I was lucky to experience life in the 60's in that small town.

when i first got my raptor back in september the first thing i did was ask the parts lady how much that silver grill was cause i thought it would look good on my blue raptor, but now i have a gytr aluminum grill and i don't think that bright aluinum will show up good under the silver but it might, i am waiting on carbon man's carbon fiber complete grill cover, at 165 it better look nice it should be out by now i will have to call them
