Default XL Stormtrooper

Last year for graduating high school my dad sold me his 2007 xl 4.2L 5-speed with a "graduation discount" for 3600. Its the truck I learned how to drive in the day I got my permit at 15 and my first "car" so its pretty special to me. BUT the one thing I hated was the XL body style. So over time Scarlett has been getting some upgrades

HIDs came in a few weeks before I went on a roadtrip up north. Had to stop by tail of the dragon for killboy pics!

The first chunk of my money went towards maintenance mods. It was at 56k and I changed the spark plugs to iridium pulse plugs, got a K&N air filter to replace the fram, and I had to replace the two rear tires. When I finally got some money I went with a flowmaster 40 series SI/SO to keep an OEM look.

After seeing one of these Jensens in my buddy's f250 playing movies and everything I got the audio bug a little bit and upgraded the radio.

Pulled the trigger on LED smoked taillights. Well worth the investment

After looking countless hours on the raptor mod, I was finally able to put it in when I got back home for summer (all my tools are at home).

My friends talked me into getting a tint. I have been holding it off, but it really makes a big difference. Also had to get an FSU sticker +50hp

I also put the GOTTS mod in a few days after the raptor light mod. Big thanks to the webmaster who did this writeup http://www.fordf150.net/articles/idx...ification.html

I have been looking for new rims for the truck and it has taken me months of searching and looking online for the best looking one for cheap (under 160 each). I almost bought MB TKOs after eyeing them since last summer. But I walked into the local tire store and they had this American Racing mainline wheel sitting on the shelf. I immediately knew that was the wheel I was getting.
