you by any chance just have your expo down at mcneils recently?? cause my buddy just dropped off his f1 down there to get a prototype front clip installed and he was saying how he saw a white expedition with 04 f150 lights on it and a raptor looking grill. said it looked really big. haha i want a one piece and those rear panels eventually. and for your front end. what sort of $$ do you have. if $$ isnt an issue go with h&m. if its a little tight go with the DBR kit. im going to go with the DBR kit since it includes everything, but you use stock spindles... weird i know. as for rear we can talk later.

Yeah, it was just there. I picked it up last Saturday in Chula Vista. They put the Raptor front end on but it was just too big. They sent me a couple of pics and we agreed to take it off and go with the original plan. They did however put the newer grill on.

he hunter mt buddy and i where talking and we decided that if i do the front clip we will add a couple layers of fiberglass to the backside to make it a little thicker and if you want to blend in the back in like we talked about i have another friend that owns a body shop and he does really good fiberglass work. he can easily fix the little accidents the grille has haha but no i really love that front clip just undecided on the back for my truck

o and for anyone who wants to know yes it would be fairly easy to fabricate front bumper mounts so you can put a newer front bumper on it also. it looks fairly easy. you really have me wanting that 4in lift also those tires look perfect under her. plus it looked like a soft ride pullin into the driveway

haha thats funny. i want that clip. as for the rear i bet they can do something to make it more "raptorish". looks good either way. it only looks way too big cause you dont have an LT kit on it. i bet if you had the h&m or DBR kit it would look wayyy better! either way nice looking expo. and yes my buddy did see yours down there. i just asked him. haha

Yeah, I think adding more fiberglass to the hood is a good idea. Like I said they were meant to be torn off in the desert. The life span of fiberglass on a desert truck is very short. I might want the grill beefed up with some added glass applied to the backside. I'll keep you posted.

I would like to put the H&M kit on. But the DBR is nice as well. Hopefully I have a good next couple of months and the $ comes in so it can be done soon. I might have the front bumper built this weekend. Depends on the fabricator. He's calling me tonight to let me know if he's available. I'm either going to leave it "raw" or powdercoat it grey.
