So i had a raptor on order since August (dealer just called and it came in 3 days ago :-/) and decided last .onth against waiting and buying it and leaving stock and got a platinum and made it my own. I've seen a few raptors driving around and there was a little bit of remorse but i think if rather havr the customized platinum over stock raptor and i dont plan on taking it offroad anyways, so according to my wife i made the right decision lol.

35x12.5 Falken Wild Peak
20% tint side/rear

3M gloss black roof wrap
3M gloss black tailgate applique wrap & tailgate handle
3M gloss black window trim wrap
Painted/Smoked tail lights/3rd brake light
Painted black hubs/Calibers

a little stiffer than stock but good. i got the 6" shocks and adjisted them down about 2 inches to make slightly smoother. Not sure what difference it made i dont have reference. Rear in these trucks is stiff thats why i got lighter springs

Looks great, much jealous. Only thing I would suggest is taking the "driver side" and "passenger side" stickers off the UCA's

Great job, sick truck. The gloss grill is throwing me a bit. Needs some contrast IMO. Love the roof.

Thanks. The large bars are gloss, the background portion of the grill is matte just can't tell in the photos. Roof and tailgate, door-handles, mirror caps are all gloss black so it goes well in person

Finally got my SE/Raptor headlights on.. Wow what a difference! It loooks so much better without the chrome housing. Im about 99% chrome free now

Also added RAS system in combination with new (lighter spring rate) leaf springs and the ride is spot on.
