I hate chrome too. Doing my badges now.

I am too!

I have a friend that is doing some overlays for the front/rear/and steering wheel Ford emblems, and I am going to paint all of the F-150 emblems myself.

If only I can get the nerve to put in my HID's myself.... any people in NC with experience doing these want a case of beer???

OMG!!! Just went through this whole thread in the last two days. Talk about my simple mind flipping out. I was hoping to find info on installing the D2S projector, but really didn't. I then noticed some reference to the evox-R. Which ones would take minimum butchering of the reflector, and easiest alignment?
To be honest, I don't have a lot of free time, and basically, starting to get cold feet on this. But, I need some good heads, live in BFE, with all the critters you can think of, except moose.
I could always take the quitters route, and just bolt on a light bar, but really don't think it would add any good looks, plus the hassle of remembering to flip an additional switch, and where to mount a switch where it would look good.

Does anyone know if "Yukes" is still around? Thinking of just blowing the big bucks and have a pro do it.

Please take this entire thing to PMs... Nothing to do with retrofits or lights.
