Hi Sydney,
I'm your active/current customer.
Thank you for the quick shipment of LP4's & pilar harness. Tracking says, it's coming tomorrow 3/12/24. I was very impressed on your top notch customer service & knowlogy, including incredible shipping speed. I'm still interested in the front light setup by you, but I have little change of plan. The front bumper I've ordered over 3+ months ago still hasn't arrived and no updates from the manufactuer.
Looks like I will need to find a different bumper kight setup. I liked how SCMIKE & Socal Raptor did their factory bumper and was thinking about doing the same thing, until I find a different option for the front bumper.
I will update you once i finsih my pilar light install and likewise on the front light order.
Sincerely
Roger

Sounds good to me, Roger!

If you want to go with our no-drill bumper mount for the OEM front bumper let me know and I can help you with that. I also sell lots of aftermarket bumpers, so if you decide you want to go that route, I can help you with that, too.

Thanks again for allowing us to earn your business, Roger!
I look forward to helping you with more upgrades whenever you are ready for them!

Cheers!
Sidney @ SPV Parts

Did you fill in the holes in your bumper? What made you switch and what do you like better? Any pics?
I didn't fill the holes because you can't see them, but I put primer around them so it wouldn't rust. Mostly I just like how it looks with the new set up, and I like that the bar protrudes past the lights to protect them a little bit if I hit something.

Do you wish you had went with 5 instead of 4 lights? And what pattern are the LP6's you went with?

No because it would fully block the front camera if I did that. Originally I had the outside ones as spot/driving combo and 2 center ones as spot. But I changed the two center ones to spot/driving as well because the top half the light is spot anyway

It would be nice if Ford listed a color code for the Bumper paint color for simple touch up... It isn't black, it is sort of a charcoal grey. Then the 24's are more of a satin black, but bot have light Metal flake. I've never seen a color code indicated anywhere for the bumpers or fender flares. It would definitely help in these situations or those with rock chips.

I don't know if you saw this, but this guy put LP9's on his..


I guess you can never have too much light! LOL

@socal raptor

I didn't notice A-Pillars?

So we haven't really talked about it much, but we have these NEW HD HD HD A-Pillar mounts in production now.

They will be ready within a week to ship.

They can support LP6, probably even an LP9 up there (But I wouldn't go bigger than an LP6.)

We designed these to take out ANY and ALL movement.

Its a tricky area up there. Previous versions relied on the hood hinge for a second place of support. Then it seems like Ford started using thinner or weaker material for those.
We compared our HD brackets to all the others and validated all the weak points and areas that had any movement. Then the clean lines to follow the body and our original double slots on top.
We found that support up top was pointless for the most part with the Ford hinge so flimsy. Then with 7 gauge stainless, while its super strong. The bends at the feet and the under arch could have some movement with enough weight. So to address that, we did an inner plate welded on all 3 points. So there is no flex period.

I just thought if you decided to go the same route with some LP6 A-Pillars, these might be interesting to you... ;-)
