I’ve been curious about swapping fenders so it’s good to know they’re a direct bolt on

[@NSQGarage]

Bolt on with a catch I guess haha

[@kengmorrow]

Great teaching. Thanks for sharing mistakes.

[@KalebWhitePhoto]

Awesome build. The company, Boost-bars sells a “Raptoid” grill with Ford letters. It’s much more affordable than a stock Raptor grill and looks exactly like it. I have it on my FX4. It may fit the raptor hood… you’ll have to ask the company. A quick Google search and you’ll see them online and in forums but you’ll must call or email them to see if they have it in stock… they don’t advertise it anymore.

[@bradybsb02]

Pretty sure that's been discontinued for a long, long time. I could be wrong though...

[@KalebWhitePhoto]

@@bradybsb02 Yeah. I called them - they had extra grills laying around.

[@devinkarr7136]

wait there still available like i can call rn and call cause i’ve been looking since i got my truck so around a year and can’t find anything ?

[@devinkarr7136]

cause it litterally says on their website to not call them about raptoid kits

[@KalebWhitePhoto]

@@jtores4467 Sorry, the grill will stay w/ the truck.

[@jonahadams87]

Fiberwerks makes the conversion kits. You would just need the raptor grill + prep and paint. I think I might go this route.

[@NSQGarage]

McNeil parts are on order. A non msrp grill is going to be a challenge though!

[@delta3675]

I’m planning on going this route as well this summer. Eventually I’ll upgrade suspension. I have a rough country 3 inch in it with the new coil overs.

[@arfeenayube4224]

Hey man I really like what you did...there isn't much video out there that's shows this upgrade...so basically the raptor parts car fit on the f150 body style?

[@NSQGarage]

The raptor is essentially the same underneath as the f-150. So the suspension and body panels pretty much bolt right up.

[@KevinHiaHia]

Hey , I’m curious about the Ford F-150 fenders, seems like that is less time consuming and cheaper route, do they only make the front fender with the 4” bulge , or they also have a set for the bedside fenders to that bulge out ?

[@NSQGarage]

There are lots of different options. Replacing a bedside would be the same cost/work if it were raptor or f-150

[@oneal2003]

The link for the fender looks different

[@sucsubag8248]

The fiberglass fenders for f-150 look so much better. I don't like the look of the black fender flares.

[@CameronRScott1]

Where did you get the rear fender flares? Im about to buy OEM front fenders that have the same flares as you have but I want them to match all the way around.

[@NSQGarage]

So those rear flares are Paramount Raptor Style fender flares on the rear. They are made for the f150 bedsides though.

[@CameronRScott1]

So if I buy oem factory 2012 raptor fenders, grill, valence and bumper it should be a direct bolt on to my 2013 f150?

[@NSQGarage]

I am confident on everything but the bumper. I'm pretty sure the bumper does too. But I didn't have hands on experience with that.

[@TuanTran-lz6ui]

Just body fill the hood to line up with fenders

[@NSQGarage]

I don't have the body work skill to do that lol

[@bajamedic]

I would have gone McNeil or Fiberwerx and kept your f150 an f150.

[@NSQGarage]

It probably would have been cheaper lol

[@scottlee8325]

Wondering if you can bow the hood to match .

[@NSQGarage]

Maybe it's possible, I definitely don't have the experience with fiberglass to say if it would work

[@ardp202]

Any specific websites for flat top fenders that are cheap??

[@NSQGarage]

mcneil's are probably the most inexpensive

[@carlosV189]

Whered you get the fenders ?

[@NSQGarage]

They are OEM take offs I got from some guy in Texas lol

[@reidenchidory]

Does anyone know if there are custom hoods for the Raptors that take F150 grills? I am not a fan of the Raptor grill and am loving them look of the Raptor fenders with the F150 hood 00:08:40 .

[@NSQGarage]

I am not aware of one. people have definitely made some f159 grills fit. But that gets pretty custom fast.

[@reidenchidory]

@@NSQGarage Damn, what a shame. Thank you for getting back to me soo quickly. I am enjoying the Faptor playlist, thank you for the excellent content. 👍👍

[@betafi4535]

hey if you're getting rid of your raptor grille Id love to buy it from you!

[@NSQGarage]

if you are talking the oem grille, i never had it.

[@davidgrey1968]

What year is your f150?

[@NSQGarage]

2013

[@christineswearingen3597]

Do you know the fenders don't match?

[@NSQGarage]

Please don't flirt with me ma'am. I'm married.

[@SPAWNOFSATAN013]

How do you removed the the flare?

[@NSQGarage]

You remove the clips on the bottom and then you just kind of pull it out

[@luckyluca9750]

U on the swap fb page?

[@NSQGarage]

Yes sir
