Not being as active doesn't mean the modding stops!
With my day job, side jobs and a 4yr old I don't have as much time as I did before to visit the forums. But that doesn't mean the modding has stopped.
Couple months ago i sent my OEM HIDs to my buddy Dan @ DC Customs to have them upgraded. The mods include...
Klearz Smoked Corner Reflector, Morimoto Amber LED Corner Lamp Bulbs, LED Concept Amber Demon Eyes, EVOX-R 2.0 Projector, Osram CBI HID Bulbs & VLED LED Blinker Bulbs
The output of them absolutely blows the stock HIDs away. Sure wish I would have done this years ago.
Next on the list was to get 2 very small dents removed. Had a paintless dent removal guy take care of them and wow, you can't tell the dents were ever there, even on the body line! $100 well worth it!
After those were taken care of I brought it to a friend of mine that's a professional detailer for full paint correction and ceramic coating along with a full interior detail.
Up next was I installed a set of rock locks in the bed and wired them to a switch located in the bed similar to the 15+ trucks have. I don't have any pics of them on my phone, just a video and since you can't upload videos directly to the forum I'll have to upload it to YouTube and then post a link.
Finally I had my front Ford Emblem, rear Ford Emblem & Camera Bezel Painted as well as the outer edge of the 3rd brake light painted so it would conceal any trash that likes to get in there. Sorry don't have any pics of the brake light installed. I haven't driven the truck since installing them so the cover hasn't come off in order to get a picture.
I think that's it! I also have a set of PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors with Performance Pads to install whenever I get some time.
Whatcha Think?

How much did the HID retro run you? Able to do it from scratch with a set of Halogens?
Painted emblems are still on my list. Im contemplating doing the reverse color scheme the the body color being the circle and "FORD" and black background, tough to find anyone thats done it this way though.
Clean as always.

Truck looks great and you just gave me hope. I have 2 small dents both on each the driver and passenger door right where the support is at and everyone tells me they can’t remove them because that’s where the door support rail is at.
