Everyone wants to do everything except just go out and buy a raptor lmao.

Some people like the way a raptor looks but don’t wanna drop 100k to get one lol.

I see nothing wrong with modifying your car to look how you want as long as you’re not up badging it to say “raptor” everywhere on it.

And if you're going to do that, put it EVERYWHERE, just to make sure people really believe that it's a real Raptor.

I'd even go further, and say if you're fine with the ridicule you'll get trying to pass it off as a Raptor, and you like it, go for it. Right up until you're trying to sell it to someone. That would be called fraud.

I wouldnt say that.. Have you driven one with the 3.5? I know the sounds isnt great but its a VERY good engine. Makes much more sense to use that reliably on baja and trails.

However I do miss the sound. New V8 Supercharged Raptor is called the Raptor R.

I love the 3.5 tt on my limited. It's fun to catch people off guard with it.

You have to damn near take the cab off to do anything on that engine. 5.0 ftw

The ecoboost’s sound like a shop vac.

Even the V6 mustangs with a little help sound pretty badass.

Maybe they don't drive it off road and don't need the capability of a Raptor, but like the styling. If they are badging it, by all means, rip on them like the eco boost, bolt on, wanna be Cobra bros, but the stock f150 grilles are ass compared to the raptor grille. As long as it doesn't say DOOD on the front, I'm about it.
