Default 2017 XLT Minor Build

I got into a 17' a little over a week ago, here is a couple quick before photos. I forgot to snap photos of the interior before the Katzkin.

Installed some eBay headlamps...Was a bit worried but they turned out pretty decent with the look. Also installed some Amazon LED bulbs when I put them in and LED fog bulbs. Here they are and the new Katzkin interior. Black leather, suede inserts.

Beautiful! How much did the Katzkin and headlights run you if you don't mind me asking? I may do Katzkin later down the road. I just bought the black housing headlights from Ford for $400 shipped, just waiting on the replacement for the broken tab. They look just like yours.

The Katzkin was $1,000 installed. I didn't wanna do it myself, after being a tech for a number of years, I always hated interior work. The headlights i got on eBay for $290 shipped, and the bulbs off Amazon. SiriusLED was the company, low beams and dogs were from them at under $100 shipped. Couple hours install and they were done.

Nice! Was that $1000 including the cost of buying the materials and labor?

Yea. I work at a dealership and we have a company that installs them. Total cost was $1,000. In fact, the stitching they installed was silver so they are redoing with the factory match grey next week.

looks nice. I also bought the sirius brand LED's. Did you get the extended headlight boots? I like the blk headlights.

I did a little measuring to make sure that the headlights bulbs were not too deep for these headlights. They fit with a little over a 1/4 inch to spare for air movement.

The Katzkins look great, that's about what I'd do, leather & suede/alcantara.

Here are some photos with the leveling kit/ wheels and tires and emblems done. I left the tailgate emblem off, didn't think it was necessary.
