Costs: Keep in mind I am not very handy, so one guy has done the install so the pricing reflects labor.

Whipple SC - $9k
Kooks full exhaust - $3k
Lights - $1750
Plasti-dip, then custom paint - $1200
muffler/roll-x/mid-perch/tips - $1600
BFG AT 37's - $1200(got a steal here as got $800 credit for old ones which had 15k on them-this also includes lifetime balance and replacement)
Hood wrap - $550
DVD headrests- $350
5 star tune and CAI(no longer on obviously) - $750
Extras - $1400 (smaller pulley, tail and brake lights, aeroforce guage, plugs, vent light, bed lights)

Total - $20k(holy shitballs my wife would kill me if she knew!)

Still to do:

Upgrade drive train
Change gears- 4.88 I think
different rims and tires-down the road, just bought 37's BFG AT's
Do something with the plastic on the back bumper-just does not look right now that everything in matte black
upgrade suspension-not sure if that is needed as I just off-road at my ranch
mud flaps-cant decide if I like the look

Pictures coming soon

Which DVD headrest did u do? $350 price is very tempting depending on on what u got

@RaptorFlipper it seemed more reasonable to move our discussion here. This was some stuff I had bookmarked from when biggest did his transmission http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f24/custom-built-super-charged-raptor-32584/index11.html I wasn't sure if you had considered anything that he had done to his transmission. I know the 6r80 is a solid transmission but have along with some of those things have you looked into a tranny cooler? I don't know what temps your trans sees but I talked to the guys at RPG and they said there cooler could lower temps by about 30 degrees. And heat is what causes the death of autos.

any updates on this build?
