Baticus's 06 Supercrew build...

So the headlights have taken a seat on the back burner. Unfortunately the halos I've ordered have taken a bit longer than I've hoped to get. I am told now that I will have them in my hands march 15. I've waited this long to reassemble, so another 2 weeks will suck. If I don't have them by the 15 I'm reassembling without halo's.
Unrelated, I had my battery fail today in the -40 Celsius weather. Took that opportunity to install an optima red top. The way it starts now, I should have known my battery was on its way out.
Also, my father bought an 08 f250. He was going to sell his 06 mark lt. So we peeled all the stuff off it that I've got him over the years. So by default I've inherited many parts. Recon led tails, firestone ride rite air spring kit, front receiver hitch. But he has since decided to keep the truck. So I may get the painted to match cap and bedrug if my mother doesn't want it).
Anyways, these tails are getting tinted in the am...

Yeah, it's always nice. So the parts I'm getting, will in turn let my brother take mine. Hand me downs. I'm a bit unsure if I would like the topper, but it's a raider and in immaculate shape. As well as free.
I wish there were more trucks I could get parts off.
I'm particularly happy about the tails. Didn't feel like spending the 450 on those.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I nightshaded my stock ones, turned out good. I cleared them as well. They turned out half decent.
Also, I've been talking to lifted5.4lariat I'm going to be ordering some emblems, I was thinking about getting them done the DSG. But I'm almost thinking I should go black on them. And I was shocked when I saw a set of his badges on a local truck the other day. Couldn't believe the quality, and how well they've stood up considering he did them a couple years ago.

Taillight plan sounds good! If you ever end up craving the Spyder tails, your smoked Recons will sell quickly on here I bet!

Good idea on warming up the valence. Cold plastic is never a good thing.
I've been planning on getting my bumper resprayed as it's peppered. I was planning on doing it myself. But my uncle talked me into taking it to his shop on a future Saturday. The tails will be done tomorrow. The clear on one bubbled a bit, so they are going to sand and respray it. They look great, better than a nightshade job for sure. Went a medium tint with them. Don't want to degrade the light quality.
And maybe down the road I'll sell the recons in favour of the spyder tails.
