Yes, most definitely! I think not painting the grille it’s a cheap shot coming from Ford. All I need now are the mirror covers in RR and that’ll complete the look.

I guess I'm a little brand loyal, but I like the blue and chrome Ford logo as is. BUT if you take a look at Johnday's custom painted logos they are hard to beat.
thank you. And after some thinking, I’ll just stick to the good ol’ blue oval, I just don’t want to deal with taking things apart again, although putting it back together was surprisingly faster than what I thought.

Next items on the list to be added, just waiting for delivery.

Morimoto Taillights Red




Morimoto Fog Lights





NOTE: As expensive as parts are, eBay has been the go to place to find and buy these parts, I will eventually make a list of all parts and prices to see how much I’m spending and how much I’m saving by buying from eBay.

Several of us on the forum have bought Morimoto knock off fogs at a fraction of the cost from Ebay and like them. If you haven't bought the fogs yet check them out.

Will be interested in hearing how you like the Morimoto tails. I’ve yet to see tails for the ‘18’s that I like better than the OEM’s.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that info. Up until today i wasn't aware there were knock off fog lights, I just search morimoto fog lights and none came back with no brand name. Now I'm curious to know what's the difference beside price, do they last the same? Quality? Brightness? Etc.

I'm not sure anyone has done a head to head comparison against the Morimoto fog lights. The knock offs seem to be very well built with a cast aluminum housing totally plug and play. Much nicer than the XLT's factory plastic halogens. They are a bit bluer then the SL1's low beams have for my headlights.

Check out 96grimrepers post on them in his build thread.

Update:

Got my Morimoto fog lights today. Going to install tomorrow morning and will post pics, stay tuned.



Side Note:

Bought this puppy to help me wash that beast. Can’t wait! Might even paint in Ruby Red too, lol.
