Install was easy, i used my factory surround and broke a few clips on the fx4 grill but it's still usable. I told the paint guy to do a semi-gloss satin black but it really came out more glossy than i'd hoped but i think it looks good. Here are some pics, my gallery has a few more.

Edit: I reused the ford 9" emblem

 

looks good.....is that a westin bullbar with the skid plate removed?

Which paint did you end up going with? I still have to paint mine... How did you prep it? Thanks

 

Go for the 525's, freaking sweet man! The LEDs that light up the housing when the main bulb is off are awesome

i had a body shop paint it. but it just looks like a standard black with a clearcoat (not what i had in mind but it works)

 

Grill looks good.

 

The grille looks good. Mine also has a little more shine than I wanted. I didn't want flat black but also didn't want it quite as glossy as I wound up with.

 

I can't wait to get mine painted.

 

yeah maybe you'll get lucky and find that halfway tone between gloss black and flat black. weren't you plannin on tryin to do that?
