[QUOTE="Z7What, post: 1074691, member: 3262"] Not sure who remembers or has seen the first Raptor i built my son so here is the link to it. [url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/bought-my-son-raptor-39740/[/url] It was time for a upgrade! So we got him a Raptor Power Wheels a few weeks ago and from the second i brought it home i started modding it and absolutely love the way it has turned out. First thing that needed to be done was the headlights. The "reflector" lens sticker was peeling up and not installed straight. I removed the factory sticker and got some Orange Reflective Vinyl to replace it with. [IMG]http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n176/Z7What/Grahams%20Raptor/112F8F46-B42E-4D71-A0D3-0E6E637B0294.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n176/Z7What/Grahams%20Raptor/983CC2A1-23B1-4BCC-A4CE-1753BD131C44.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n176/Z7What/Grahams%20Raptor/FE114034-48D7-4D95-B6B5-29B329B681F1.jpg[/IMG] After that was done i retrofitting the headlights and blinkers with LEDs, along with LED tailights as well as installed Amber LEDs in the grill. Also notice the Orange(Front) & Red(Rear) Reflective as the side marks on each corner of the truck. You can also see the license plate my dad had made for it.
