New truck/build

Hey everyone just picked up a brand new truck on Friday. 2016 f150 lariat 3.5l ecoboost. Love this thing just ordered some parts for it.

Parts ordered so far
raptor conversion grille which I plan to color match along with the bottoms of my stock mirrors
weathertech floor mats and rain guards
rough country 2' leveling pucks
ADD 54' curved light bar mounts to mount my rigid rds lightbar but they were out of them so I have to order from somewhere else

Other mods

I was also thinking about having the front and back bumpers powder coated to match what do you guys think?
Any wheel recommendations to go with my 2' leveling kit? I was thinking fuels 20x9 and some 34 or 35 in tires.
What else should I do to this thing ? Any input is welcome thanks everyone!!!

Few new parts

whats up guys so I've done a few things since I last posted so far I've done weathertech mats and window deflectors,had the two front windows tinted to match the back. I've also installed a raptor grille of ebay and a raptor steel bumper from paramount. Here are some pics of the progress so far.

Also don't think I'm going to mount my lightbar on this truck not comfortable being the body is aluminum. I planned to color match bumpers and grille but for now I'm gonna put that on hold and do other mods. I think it looks good as is.

I'm not sure whether I want to keep stock wheels and put on 35's or order some 20x9 fuels and tires.
the next few mods will be exhaust and blow off valve. I am leaning towards 35's on stock wheels and a 2' leveling kit from rough country. And some recon headlights would be nice. Any input or ideas are greatly appreciated thanks

Finally got some more work done

Ended up getting the fog lights mounted and hooked up I had to weld the light bracket to the bumper because the raptor bracket doesn’t work on reg f150 even with raptor bumper.

What size tires did you go with? You're going to need more lift if you got 35's. Good looking truck.
