I like my 12' although i dont care for the terrain in stock form. I think Addictive Deserts accessories will be the final touches to making that color shine. The angry head lights make aftermarket bumpers a must as well. Going to be an interesting year! Glad to see an early order with so many accessories spent already! You should start a build thread when applicable!
I'll definitely start a build thread once I get to that point! I reallly like the Addictive Desert parts available. I hope the function is as good as the looks! I haven't found any negative feedback on here or other forums in terms of quality, fitment, finish, function, strength, etc. They seem to make excellent parts.
I'm already considering how much it's going to cost me to have all of the gray trim pieces painted black to match the bumpers and rock rails. It looks like the wheel well trim will be easy but I'm not sure how easy all of it will be since as far as I can tell you have the gray color on all of the following:
the side badge/grill on the front quarterpanel
the trim strips between the front and rear doors
the pieces at the base of the side mirrors (and possibly all the way around the windows?)
the front grille
a small trim piece around the tail lights (can't tell if that's part of the tail light or a trim piece?)
the 6.2L badges on the doors
the nostrils/vents on the hood (or are they black?)
Am I missing anything?
I'm going to ignore the fact the interior has gray trim because I just want the exterior to match since the bumpers will no longer have gray on them to match the other trim.
I don't understand the animosity against the new rims. The are very similar to the wheels on the Raptor Ford raced in Baja, and the one they took to the Sema show. They are forged rims, the stock rims are cast. Definitely a worthwhile option.
It seems like it's about a 50/50 split of people that like them or not. I can understand that because they're definitely more old school and have the same design we've seen in serious off-road rims for a very long time. Personally I think the newer styles like the Rock Star style that's so popular are ugly. Honestly I think the stock Raptor rims are kind of ugly too (flame suit on!) and the new optional BLs are a 1,000,000% improvement over them!
