[QUOTE="Harblar, post: 577223, member: 8673"] It's going to be pretty badass! ;-) Ok so, since my last update Lights, Lights, and Combat Boots have been added! First I did the ambient lighting on the interior. Got a Black Olive Ash center console for a F-150 Platinum. It had the cupholder light ring and, since I couldn't justify spending $300 for just the cup holder assembly, i swapped the upfitters into the new panel and reinstalled that. Also why I went with the black olive ash over the wood grain most people buy to get the cupholders. :happy160: [ATTACH=full]224524[/ATTACH] One might notice that I also painted up the upfitters as well. [ATTACH=full]224525[/ATTACH] The factory color of the upfitters looked off with new console, so I gave it a metallic black coating and then painted up the logo so you could actually see it! Think it turned out great! For the ambient lighting, I didn't want to spend another $250 on Fords ambient lighting kit and then cut holes for switches and what not to get this to work, so I got a roll of RGB strip lights, a controller, and then made my own system. More functions, colors, and brightness (if so desired) than the factory kit at a whopping total of around $20.

Also ordered a set of AnzoUsa smoked LED mirror reflector replacements off from Amazon.
