Default 85hp Upgrade - 2017 Raptor style grille

Got my 85hp upgrade last night!! can't wait for it to stop raining so that I can bolt it on! Truck's going to be soooooo fast!!!

On a more serious note, For the people that have done this mod already, what is the best way to route the LED wiring harness? and where would the best place be to tap into the parking lights?

I ran mine underneath the insulation mat under the hood the down the underside of the top of the fender. I tapped the parking lights where I didn't have to cut open the main harness to much.BTW I got 100 hp increase on my 5.0

Been looking at this grill....But beside the 1~2 chips in my grill, I sort of like it.

Does the mesh separate from the surround? I would like to get one but I would have to paint the surround oxford white to match my truck. I would hope I wouldn't have to mask it off.

I found the grille without the F and R for a reasonable price. Then I went to look for the letters on ebay. The letters cost almost as much as the grille.

Not enough guys are doing this, looks soooooo much better when the surround is painted to match the truck. I hate the look when guys just unbox it and bolt it up, looks so cheap.
