-glowing side vents
-glowing sill plates
-glowing rear raptor emblem
-custom design projected from your puddle lights
-vinyl letters for grille
-FRF sticker on the back window
-upgraded subwoofer

no raptor is complete without these

Oh sweet Jesus! :drunk:

As far as how I plan on using the truck: The truck will mostly be used on road but I do plan on Raptoring off road as well. I live in CA and off roading in CA is like most things in CA, over regulated and more difficult than it should be, so my off roading will pretty much be reserved for road trips and camping trips with the family.

From what I've seen here I think the CAI and a tune is absolutely on the list. Not sure about the exhaust yet. Any advise on the CAI?

Offroading here is actually pretty easy

Barstow / Ocotillo / Anza / California City etc.

I would go:
1.) Mid perch on stock shocks
2.) new leaf springs, Deaver or National, and get the HDs if you have a SCRew.
3.) a bump stop/frame brace kit (http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/bump-stop-kit-did-you-go-30008/) Pretty good info in there, again, pick one.
4.) Radio and off-road NAV if you plan to go with most of the groups on here.
5.) 37's and rims... http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f25/37-bfg-ats-29895/

But check out these build threads, some really good info in these.

why HD for a screw? just curious as i am doing springs in the spring hopefully and i am curious as to why HD. just because the weight? i was planning on the HD anyway but for no other reason than because i trailer and haul things occasionally

I can customize your leather for you! I can turn the ugly center console lid into this -

If you send your console lid to me, I can do the install and I make very clean factory looking corners and get 100% of the wrinkles out!

I can also do custom work
