Installed my prototype Raptor style hood, Still need a few changes, But I like it.
I need to have the hood latch mech added. A few pictures=brian.

 

Looks good to me. Prototypes are cool, something different for sure.

 

Wow I like it!!!! How much?

 

Looks pretty sick.

 

OK! I have to have one!

 

That looks great! Are you planning on painting it all body colour or something different?

 

Looks great!

 

Now for a Raptor Grille for the Ranger… ?

Hood looks good and is different spin than the Power Dome.

How about flat blk paint… ?

 

I want to hate it, but I kinda like it. I'm confused.

 

how much dinero?

 

i like it but not the hood pins. other than those, it is sick

 

The company who makes them for around $ 350 or less, plus shipping, Southern Calif guys can pick up=no shipping.
Available style for 2000-03 hood & 2004-2010. It still needs some addition work like I said in the start of the thread,
I'm just a customer testing the prototype.
thanks =brian

 

well would you mind giving us a heads up when you feel like you've fine-tuned it to where you are happy with it. i would be interested in one with a latch. so all I have to do is have have it painted to match

 

looks pretty dang good...minus the hood pins imo though lol

 

Yeah let us know man. I'd be all over this if you make ones with latches ( I'm not a hood pin guy)

 

Yes I agree about the hood pins. This is a racing prototype hood, For the desert racer this is fine. I'm waiting for the finished latch bracing hood to be made. This was for show & tell pictures. I still like it. Fit & finish is great.
I will probably paint it to match leaving the vents black.
=brian

 

2004- up ranger grill with F-O-R-D like raptor from =mcneilracinginc.com/raptor-fiberglass has them unpainted for $200. looks good.

 

Are the vents functional or just for looks?

 

that looks pretty sick

 

true vents and I think they look good. thanks=brian

 

They do look good!

Any pics of the underside? Or is it still unfinished?

 

sorry but im not a fan, fiberwerks has already had a raptor conversion out for awhile and i hate that even more. the raptor is a tools truck for bros with more money then brains. lift blocks, horrific useless shock angles and shocks(but they're fox BRO so they must be sickygnargnar), aluminum arms that cant be bump stopped, ricer graphics, and a price tag that would buy you a tow f350 and a built ranger. never anything id want to try and clone. to each his own enjoy.

 

Cool story!!

 

So what color is your Raptor?

 

That's a pretty unfair comparison. the fiberwerks bodykit and this hood aren't even remotely similar. From these pictures, this hood at least looks like it belongs on a ranger. Can't dog the man for creativity. what have you built from scratch recently?
