Greetings PDC214,

So great make-over on your black Escape! I am doing the same here with an all black hybrid and was wondering where you got that Raptor grille? Could you possibly steer me to where I can get one? Totally changes the look of the car!

I really would appreciate it and will follow-up with a pic when finished. You can post here or at my Email

Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Hey guys...so here is my grille (FINALLY). I need your honest opinions on what colors I should get it done. Please note that the grille is just propped up against the front grille...so it looks like it's popping out a ton.

I am trying to decide between
1. Just regular gloss black like my SAP grille now. Pros is that it matches my paint and wheels (which are the same exact black). Cons is that it might not look as good.
2. Matte black.
3. Either gloss or matte black with the FORD letters outlined in a thin stripe of blue.



And here is how my Escape looks right now for reference

Pdc214 do you mind me asking what wheel and tire setup you are running? Wheel specs? Spacers or no? And suspension mods? Absolutely love that look man

His wheels are Drag Wheels DR-33s I have the same. 40mm offset and 16s so same as factory. And I'd guess some BFG A/Ts

Thank you sir. What's the width on those wheels?

Not sure what you mean by width? :shrug: they are the same spec as the factory wheels.

Actually they quit making "anything that says FORD on it".

I'm assuming they got threatened with copyright laws or something.

So the only way to get one now is to find a used one.

Doesn't surprise me, Ford has been cracking down on trademark infringements for sometime now. You used to be able to find just about anything you wanted with the "Ford" oval on it on ebay, now, not so much and when you do it's usually something coming straight from China :shrug:

It's Probably already in this thread somewhere but I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GET THAT RAPTOR GRILLE FOR MY 2012 Escape Limited????
Any help is appreciated. THANKS!
As mentioned above McNeil has suspended production of these. Call or email them though and maybe you can work something out with them.

Out of production. They are no longer made and haven't for quite some time now. Sorry.

Anyone wanting to sell their grille?
These will be hard to come by. You may have luck contacting McNeil and asking them to make you one. Good luck!
