Thanks for all the replies....and Gig EM!

Regarding the Ducati retrofit....you have to send him your lights right? That's my big problem if the case. My Raptor is my daily driver so a little tough to give up my lights!

Congrats and Welcome! Ducati is def the man with the HID plan. He can either retrofit yours, or is also putting together a plug N play '13 assembly that will make your '12 indistinguishable from a '13. I'm kinda waiting to see how those turn out as that look is growing on me

I think you can keep yours, just pay a bit more, since you will pay a core charge...would think you could send your stocker lights once you have yours made and shipped...

Welcome from Decatur. I personally have an AFE stage II intake with 5-star lid, KOOKS headers, high flow catted y-pipe into Borla muffler and its all tuned with an SCT tuner with custom tunes by 5-star. Also have RPG stage 3 suspension setup and am on top perch but about to drop back down to middle perch. Although I love the added power of the performance mods the best bang for my buck so far has been the perch mod and RPG stage 3 setup. That was the absolute most noticeable and beneficial modification that I have done so far just to be honest.

Welcome from Frisco. Be sure to watch the forum for info on the TX Raptor run this next spring. I just got back from Texana Ranch today working support for a 300 Mile Baja race.

I just got a ADD bumper, did mid perch and have a Airaid intake. HIDs in stock housings, do the job for me and if aimed right dont blind everyone. Installing a light bar in the next few weeks as well.

Great responses from all. I will certainly want to make that Texas Raptor run!

Great to know Ducati can send my lights and I just send him my stock ones later. Definitely going to do that!

Jackemup....what's that stage 3 do exactly if you don't mind me asking? And how much does it run? Also, what HP gain would you say you picked up from those performance mods?
