Duplicolor perfect match with heavy clear coats. I hate to say it but i got the wrong color and will be respraying them later today/tomorrow.

I have been testing the waters with the performance white and oxford white out of a can.

Here is a link! Be careful because a little too much prying and you could pay the price like i did on my first pair!

I went out and purchased a 2011 F150 Ecoboost
Here she is the first day i got her.


That same week I bought a 6 inch Rough Country Suspension Lift along with a set of 20 inch Fuel Mavericks wrapped in 35 Al Turro MTs



Here's another glamour shot i took of her that evening.


I decided to add a custom grille to it. I bought a cheap wire mesh grille with rivets installed off ebay for about $200 bucks and decided to paint it myself.

Here it is without the shell painted.


Its a bad picture but here it is after i mounted the old Ford Oval onto the grille and put a white and black overlay on top of the emblem.



Another from the rear.



Here is the final outcome of the grille after i painted it.



I picked up a pair of black housing heads to replace the olds with clear turn signal housings.



Today i have actually started to retrofit my headlights with H1 Morimoto Mini Projectors to add a little flare to her. This project is pretty overwhelming as it is but I do have a few pics from the build along with a Raptor headlight i am corresponding with.

Here is my blueprint of what i am going by:

Here is what i have done so far:
ok
