I think the picture at the bottom left is the best looking mod on the page.

Question

Was the '00 lightning bumper brackets difficult to install into your '97 F-150? Was there any welding, or was it just "bolt in place"? May I have the details. Also, would anyone know if the '00 lightning grill frame the same as a '00 F-150 grill frame? And was the '00 grill easy to mount on your '97? I just wanna know the details of the labor difficulty (if any) before I go ahead and purchase these parts.

I appreciate your help, Thank you.

Xenon,

How did you hook up the lights? Did you use a relay?

Thanks,
Tim

mana- Everything was a direct bolt on replacement, I was surprised How simple things went together ,, Any way it took about
4 hours to do the swap.The 2000 f150 and the 2000 lightning grill are the same,The grill swap is very easy,It is held on by about 6 small screws.

The bumper comes in unpainted. You can have the dealership paint it or go to your favorite body shop.
