-Replaced skid plate nut clips and bolts since I had to cut them off.
-Fixed previous owners led frt. bumper lights install.
-replaced lug nuts with oem size black 1 piece lugs
-Restored headlights the old fashion way aka sanding-polishing my arse off.
-Replaced interior lights and license plate bulbs with leds.
-Removed 3rd brake light lens, polished it and added led bed lights.
-Polished and cut open the puddle lights and installed leds(no I didnt look online and see you can buy a pair until I finished my ocd project).

Thanks,lol, not quite it's still red with raptor stickers. FRF comments and running into an older fart in a roush ruby red convinced me to keep it. Here's a few "before" pics. The power steering fluid looked like maple syrup. After the flush the steering wheel turned like the family highlander.

Nice to see that product works on glass, these windows SUCK for hard water spots.

Well the moon roof was the worst and came out crystal clear. I used the white correcting pad too. However, I noticed some very fine scratches in my driver window in the sun after polishing it. The rears look fine so I am thinking it was me that scratched it with the pressure etc. So you might want to look into cerium type polishing kits? The orange pad and orange correcting cream might be a better choice too. While doing the windows I remember being tired and pissed off, thinking why the F did someone buy a ruby red truck and not take care of the finish?
