    Hey all! I have seen the Raptor Mod done on a lot of 2nd Gen's but only like one 1st Gen. So, I thought I would share. The Raptor Mod is completely pointless, other than looks. The Ford Raptors have 3 Amber LED's on the grill just like this. This isn't a how to or anything like that. I will post some more pictures up as it gets darker out. Enjoy!

    Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

    That's pretty awesome. I like that idea.

    You make a valid point. I did it because it was somewhat different and I thought it was kind of neat looking. I would like to come up with something a little different on my own, like additional red LEDs in the rear bumper? I don't know right now. We shall see! :D

    Thanks :D

    The 1st gen grills have those vertical bars where LED strips could be mounted to light up the radiator. Just tie them into the parking light circuit and scare your neighbors. :eek:
