This is probably the best place to ask this:

Does the S8 work with a full race intercooler on the 2017?

Or can you make custom mounts so I can move it forward INTO the plastic grill above the FORD? This would be even better. I really want the light in the grill and not behind it, but no one makes a kit like that yet.

Without seeing the vehicle in person it's hard to say if there will be enough clearance. We don't plan on making custom mounts for this application but it can be done by most fab shops.
Post up some pictures of the intercooler if you can.

I was also interested about lights in the grille opposed to behind it. I don't mind having the brackets fabbed up or cutting the grill but I was wondering if there was even room for a setup similar to this? Top or bottom?

I'd personally like to put their light bar above the actual "FORD" part of the top grill. It wouldn't be hard to take the measurements and cut the hole for it, but I'd have to find a way to make it look clean because I'm **** about things like that. lol. I may just order it and see what I can accomplish. maybe mock it up with some thin aluminum that's easily bendable and then transfer it over to steel.

I am looking for a fog kit. The most light I need will be 50-60 MPH down dirt and gravel roads up in northern Wisconsin and the UP, and maybe 70 or so on the road there are no other cars around up there which happens frequently. Will the pro kit work for this, I don't want to be overdriving past lights. Don't mind paying for the unlimited just don't want to go overkill.



Thanks

Any of the kits would do well. The pro kit is a nice comparison. I'd also recommend you get some amber lenses as an option just in case you want that change in light from all white to a bit amber. Unlimited are really awesome, and only cost you a few hundred more (well I guess that sounds like a lot). The S2s and Squadrons allow you to replace the lenses as needed so a lot of our customers actually order a set of ambers as a spare or to try out, since they are inexpensive.

Thanks for posting up! We recommend the Unlimited Kit once you start exceeding 70mph at night. The extra distance with the Racer Edition spots will be perfect for higher speeds.
The Pro kit will be great for speeds up to 60mph or so but the added distance of the Unlimited Kit will best for exceeding 70.

Thank You,
