Default 2015 F150 Raptor Conversion. New body style

So I've done a few raptor conversions in the past, king ranch conversions, and platinum.... Well it looks like I'm doing my new 2015 F150 with only 1600 miles. I'm doing the front fenders, light extensions, bumper, rear bedsides, shocks and coilovers, wheels, tires and lift.

Here are a few I did in the past 2 years

So before I get started let me answer some questions/comments that will come up. Also all my other builds had negative nancys that ended up getting banned for trash talking and blah blah, don't be that guy.... no one likes that guy

Why don't you get a 2016/17 raptor?
-because I don't want to spend 65-70k on a vehicle I will never take on a jumping quest.

Are you building this replica because you can't afford a new raptor?
-no

Why not get a 2014 REAL raptor?
-because I don't want to spend 40k on a truck that I'm not taking on a jumping quest.

Why are you wasting your money on this?
-because you're not my financial consultant.

Are you going to take it offroading?
-no because I don't feel like breaking parts on a 50k 2015 truck

Your a ***** for not taking this offroad.
-ok

If it were my truck I would take it offroading.
-ok

Why not just wait till the raptor comes out?
- look at my first question I typed above.

Here is the current setup of the truck. The fiberglass is 2 weeks out but I'm gonna add pics of the build throughout the process. Should be done by july.

Looks great. Particularly digging the headlights and tailgate. The tailgate and tail lights come together to give a modernized 80's look.

The above statements will not stop the hate, this is the internet after all.

That being said, not my cup of tea but I still appreciate the work that goes into your builds. Good luck and can't wait to see the finished product.
