Default Echo's 2013 Platinum Build Log

Just purchased a new 2013 Ford F150 Platinum; Ecoboost. I just traded in my 2010 Ford Taurus SHO for it. Which I will post a few pictures below.

I've already started with a few very simple mods. But plan on adding plenty more through the next few months.

Current Upgrades:
Recon Projector LED running headlights
Recon LED rear tail lights
Recon Third brake light
Recon Illuminated F150 side emblems
Changed all interior bulbs to LED's
Tinted the windows
Roll n'Lock retractable tonneau cover w/ cargo manager
Weather tech mats and window deflectors

Future mods:
Borla S-type exhaust
Purchase both the Fuel Economy & performance tunes 93 octane
AFE Cold Air Intake
Down Pipes: probably not until next year
Also interested in the BBK Throttle Body
JL Audio Stealth Box (this might be happening soon)

I am still searching through the website here to see what other people have done. Lifting isn't an option for me, as this is my work truck also. It would make it too difficult to get my deliveries in and out of the back. Thanks for the comments and look forward to keep adding more!

Just throw on some adjustable 5100s with some tires and rims of your choice. It will give it an aggressive look without sacrificing ride quality or usability. Looks good man.

No they are still HIDs but with the LED DRLs.

I think what he's getting at is that you now have a set of factory HID headlights laying around which is pretty much like gold around here.

The next things I would do is get the 2014 ecoboost lower grille insert, black out the orange mirror lenses or buy the smoked lenses with LEDs in them, then sift through the $50 dollar or less mod thread and do a couple of those like the fold down rear seat mod and bed light mod.
