NavyMSU sorry it took me a while to respond I was out of town over the weekend and it was a busy week leading up to the weekend. I got my rubber mats from amazon...I only found Blue, Red, and White colors. I think the Leadfoot and green would be an awesome combination but, Blue is really hard to find and I have not seen any green accent pieces so that might be almost impossible
Thanks for the compliment on the rings and mats, I found them during a boring day at work then after install I found them on the on the mods under $50 thread. I thought it would just bring a little of the outside color inside to continue the color combo I was working on and I love it now.
Here is the link to the mats I bought: You can also find them on ebay for probably a little cheaper.
Note to you Navy and also to andrewdod if you guys decide to get some *****, the temperature **** covers the line to show what temp you are set to. I painted a white line on it but I have also seen some guys cut it out for the backlit line shine through the ****.

i read your previous note about the temperature ****... is probably get my Dremel out to let the backlighting shine through.
thanks for the response... I’m at the dealership right now picking up my truck 😍

I finally got around to adding my front license plate mount "bull bar" today...not sure how I feel about it yet, it might be better after I add a/some light(s) to it. Let me know what you all think!

Well I've been away for a little bit but I'm back with probably a lengthy post! My brother and I took our trucks out on some fire roads around Michaux State near Gettysburg, PA. This was a great experience nothing crazy, got to use my self-installed HDC a lot and for what it was meant for! We also found some small puddles to play in on the side of the fire roads. Here are some pics of the trip!
A nice view on our way up ridge rd.
My truck and My brother's TRD PRO 4Runner!
Ended up hitting a rock in one of those puddles and losing a tow hook!
After that I had to wait for my new tow hook to come in which came in Wednesday so it is now all back together.
I picked up these vinyl letters: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F150-SVT-Raptor-Grille-Insert-Graphics-Stickers-Decals-2015-2018-SUBDUED/173556240012ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid= p2057872.m2749.l2649 for my grill to help me stand out a little bit more. I was able to tell now the very slight differences between my aftermarket grill and the OEM since these were mad for the OEM, they work and look good but the letters are just slightly different. I also decided to put the air dam back on since the level brought the front of the truck up I thought it would look better.

I have been wanting to post in here for a long time but didn't have time for a while (too busying modding!!). This is my first build and I think it looks awesome so far. I will post pictures now with the different stages of it tonight and work on explanations and links to the parts periodically. Feel free to ask questions about the build and if you like a part and want the link before I get around to posting just let me know and I'll post it ASAP!
I got the truck April of 2017 and didn't really get the modding bug until Jan/Feb of this year. A lot happens fast on these builds!! I hope ya'll enjoy! One thing I could not find a picture of is the LED bulbs in the High mount stop lamp/cargo lamp.
Stock, the day I picked her up.
Bambi Mode and Raptor Style grill
Raptor style center caps for wheels
Homemade bed divider
Close up of Tailgate emblem
Blacked out side emblems
low profile vent visors
LED Tailgate Light Bar and LED taillight bulbs
Gator SR2 Premium Rollup Tonneau Cover LED license plate bulbs
As she stands today.
I plan to do a little work tomorrow so stay tuned for continued updates!

Not too much going on here still. I've been house shopping and now all my money is going into that but I decided to do a couple small projects that i've just been putting off.
Notched out the aluminum ring for the temperature ****
Can now see the temperature setting at night
Began setting up a wireless charger for the dash of my truck
Bought a nice Canon EOS camera to get some pretty nice pictures of a lot of thing not just the truck!!

So I decided to buy a little something for big blue since she missed out on Christmas presents this year. Decided to bring more blue into the cab of the truck with a nice steering wheel cover. Let me know what you guys think!

Well, I've been in my house now for about 2 months so that means time to get back to the truck! Got something on order right now to make the truck look wider and so the wheels don't seem so recessed in the wheel wells with the fender flares on. I also decided the side emblems needed some blue on them and that I really do like the truck much better without the air dam on and I haven't noticed any difference at all with it off, maybe slightly more stable on the highway but nothing much especially with the level on it now. I hope I didn't lose too many followers during my hiatus!
Painted the XLT blue
Close up of the blue XLT and emblem
Found out the truck JUST fits in the garage, started to rain and couldn't let the blue XLT pain get wet
I also finally got the plastic insert around the tow hook reinstalled from when I ripped it off in that puddle!
