Let us know what you think, that seems like a decent reasonable priced upgrade.

Here's a pad only upgrade review using Power Stop pads and a couple competitors on a F150 SCREW with base tires. They seem to have very little overall effect in this video review.

The guy doing the review though is one of the most annoying people on Youtube, he's a little more toned down in this video though so I manged to watch the whole thing.

I’ve always been skeptical of pad only “upgrades”....that video shows why.
I don’t expect much from the rotors...basically doing it because my stock ones are dusting and look like hell through the wheels. Braided hoses are great for a firmer pedal feel...I’ve always liked using them.

Sounds like an addiction.... but it sure is a lot of fun spending this money.

Can’t wait to see the numbers after the whipple.

Not sure how relevant this is but with my Stainless Works Performance Connect Long Tube Headers and Stainless Works Performance Connect 3" True-Dual Chambered Turbo catback I have a noticeable drone at certain speeds/RPM. So much so that my Wife doesn't want to ride in the truck. Just thought it was worth mentioning the drone because you have mentioned that you don't care for exhaust sound. I am very pleased with the full Stainless Works exhaust but may look at changing out the mufflers, for my Wife's sake. I still need to take it to the dyno before I install the Whipple on it, for comparison.

Plan B for buying both mufflers is to install both of them if it’s too loud. lol

Well...I went on a shopping spree last night so hopefully everything will be there when I come back to the States next week.
Stainless Works cat back with both mufflers and a better looking exhaust tip.
Stop Tech rotors and Crown Performance braided lines.
Stifflers traction bars.
Crown Suspension lift shackles.
JLT catch can.
VMP fuel pump booster.
Also ordered a couple of gallons of coolant, 4 pack of Redline water wetter and some Iron X to clean up the brake calipers and wheels when I install that stuff.
The only thing left to do is get home and pull my PCM strategy for ID Motorsports to write the tunes and get to work installing stuff.
That new Mishimoto aluminum degas bottle caught my eye last night...might have to grab one of those when they start shipping.

Can you share a contact or recommendation on ordering PTM handle and side mirror caps?

Build looks sharp! Very impressive

The paintable mirror caps are available on eBay or through your dealer. Getting the door handle pulls is much harder. I got lucky twice...found a set through a friend the found another guy wanting to trade his painted ones for my old chrome ones. They can’t be bought anywhere.
