Maybe it would be better to wait until I go for the first service and see their reaction for myself !
Thanks!...I saw your taillight mod in the BLIS thread, those sure look good. Maybe someday, these are working out pretty well for now, have no complaints and got rid of that nasty white stripe. I don't care for that look at all, I'm not sure what Ford was thinking.

I've taken my truck in for warranty work with the 8" Cluster and the dealer said nothing about it. Glad I put it in literally on day one.

glad to hear that ! Maybe your dealer thought your trim was a lariat

The thought actually crossed my mind because I had the Katzskin leather already installed too.

OCMike, got any pics of the halogen SE lights at night? I'm considering them and I'm curious how/if they look any different at night.

I do not right now...I have Diode Dynamics LEDs installed for the low beams so the light is much whiter then the standard halogens. I'll try to take a couple tonight if it's not raining.

OCMike, what are your thoughts of your wheels/tires combination? Thinking to go down that route, for now I got 2018 XLT with 18 inch wheels and Michlin’s, but the SE wheels are a stunning upgrade

I like the looks but the E-Rated K02 tires do have a rougher ride. Although I only put 20 miles on the truck with the stock 17" so it tough to say how much.

I might put the stock ones back on to do a little acceleration testing this weekend that way I can also evaluate how much the tires effected the ride.
