My Retrofit Is Done!

Got them done a week and a half ago. Haven't taken pictures since my truck has been nasty! Today was finally nice enough to get it cleaned up and get a few pictures.

I went with the FX-R with 5000k 50w bulbs/ballasts. I also have some red LED halos and strip lights (got these free) that I need to wire up. Been too lazy too get that deep into it.

Ignore the half missing Roush sticker. My boss decided to be nice and scrap my windshield when I heard him say "whats this red stuff?" lol.....o ya and the horrible looking bumper. It will either be repainted or replaced with the Saleen one this summer. I'm leaning towards the Saleen now that I don't need fog lights

Enjoy

Chrome stealth bulbs so they dont have the yellow egg yolk look but still light up amber.

Very nice! I have my retro kit and new lights sitting here to be done. Just got my grill surround back from being painted (since I have a Lariat with Chrome grill surround).

I love the KMC slides and am considering getting them for my truck. Do you mind telling what size and offset you have? I would also like to know what size tires you have.

Thanks

They are 22s! I'm pretty sure they are the 38mm offset. Never really checked into it...got them used and was happy with the offset. haha Tires size is 305/40. Next round of tires I'm going to try some 305/45s. Hopefully fill the wheel well a little more. Only complaint is they are wide and grab on grooved out roads. I'm used to it now though.

very nice man, the same setup I am hoping to go with as well with the gatling shrouds and everything painted black. What kind of paint did you use?

Thanks. I used VHT primer (SP-305). Perfectly flat black and really easy to spray
