Very sharp!!! It's not overwhelming like some of them...

Where did you get it, and how much did you pay?

Can you get the Skid Plate in black?

I got it from Premier Motoring Accessories and it cost $325 with free shipping. All of the places that sold the Westin only listed the skid plate as Chrome which I thought I wouldn't like since the FX4 doesn't have any chrome anywhere else. On the truck it isn't bad.

Hey mark, the bar looks great! I'll be getting the chrome one soon with a couple of lights. Did you consider the liscense plate relocator or have any idea where it relocates it to?

Nevermind, I read on the site that the plate gets relocated to in between where the lights would be. For the bar (chrome), two PIAA lights, and the relocator, it would cost me $593.88 minus a 15% discount for letting the site use a pic of my truck a while back makes it $530 with tax. That's alot of scratch with christmas coming up. I really want one though...I've got to figure something out.

There is plenty of room for hood clearance.

I bought the PIAA lights put one on but didn't like how the looked and unless I am missing somthing you have to run the wires exposed to get into the engine area. I didn't spend much time trying to get it thru the bar because I just didn't like the looks of the ones I got. I might try these lights instead.

I also don't have to a front plate so I didn't look into that.

Those are some expensive lights. I think I going to go with http://www.premiermotoring.net/cgi-b...tml?catid=1041

they are the 40 series PIAA (a little bit cheaper) There has to be a way to hide the wires.

My Dad and me install mine in about an hour. It is a very easy to install just remove the two tow hooks in the front (4 Bolts). Bolt on the new Westin L bracket (4 Bolts) and then bolt on the Bull bar (Also 4 bolts) level it and tighten down all the bolts. I would not do this alone but you can, it sure help to have an extra set of hands when trying to first bolt the bar on.

I have the PIAA 52 SERIES LIGHTS on the bar and they look great. I am having some work done on the radio system this week, I will be asking them to hook up the lights to the power and mount the on off switch in the cab. Once I get everything on the truck I will post some pic's

I installed a pair of Hella 500 driving lights in my Piaa airdam. I really like them. The output is nice, bright, very focused. I don't think the Piaa lights offer that much more. The Hella's were $65 a pair from a local auto parts store (Trak Auto).

I installed it myself and it only took about 30 min. Just as easy as F150_FX4_2004 said it was, with two people it would have been easier.

Do you know if the Skid Plate is "Black" as well as the Bull Bar?


Thanks!
