Right, those headlights are temporary. Since I will soon go for truck inspection, I preferred passing with the OEM set headlights at that time. Not sure retrofit HID headlight would pass...
Concerning those bed fenders, they are 3" wider than the oem ones- I had to extend the inner fender gap by 3" to close the wheel cage (not shown at time of the picture). I agree that the front fenders really look wider than the rear ones. I think this setup is to give more wheel gap when cornering with 37" tires?
What is missing:
- EcoRaptor logo, 3.5L Twin Turbo Logo, black camera bezel & logo, 37" Toyo tires with 22" Fuel wheels (with larger offset). Back Cat Double exhaust, SCT Tuner, cold air intake. I think this is it for phase1!

Great job! Suspension plans? I have a set of fox 2.5 adjustable coil overs with remote reservoirs and a set of raptor performance group uca's for sale. They are for F-150 but will allow extra clearance for larger tires and greatly increase ride and performance. They will allow you to run 37's. As they allow me to run Toyo mt 35's with stock f150 fenders with np.

Sorry, but what is the "Raptor take out"? Because I'm looking to do the same conversion but need an extra 3" of width, I just don't know how to get it (cheaply). Any advice? Thanks!

Contact the Raptor shops, there are usually one or two stock units laying around.

Raptor suspension
Last summer, I finally put a hand on a complete front Raptor suspension. This was an easy fit. Now I can go forward with my 37" tires. And even at the bottom perch, there is no rub at all. I love it!
