Added a vinyl Raptor inlay from Rappy Graphics. This thing was very fiddly and a real pain. I could not get it perfect. I eventually tried to “float” a few of the letters with some water and that seemed to help a little. Would be better if the vinyl they used was thicker, because the way it comes its sandwiched between two pieces of plastic and peeling it off stretched the vinyl in places a little bit. From 2ft away looks fine.

I have the same and getting it into the fine ends of the “R”‘s can be tough. A very small robber edge squeegee I found best to do this.

Had my Offroad Alliance triple bezel wrapped with matte PPF (comes powder coated gloss black) and PPF applied to the lenses of the BD Deigns lights going in them.

nice job. Would you mind posting pictures after you install and comment on the fit. I have a non bezel bracket that I was told would allow for adjustability so all the lights fit within the opening and are not cut off by the bumper opening, but it’s not possible with the bracket I was sold. Feedback appreciated.

Will do. Just waiting to get my truck back from the shop for the matte wrap and tint.

I was really torn about witch kit to get. I liked the bezel due to the fact that it looked "finished". I had some concerns about the farings cutting off the light beam but Offroad Alliance assured me that they wouldn't. I also got the light guards wheel well extensions.

Way to start the addiction when they are young. We all have a responsibility to our children and grand children to teach them to appreciate great vehicles. I hate to think about having a grandchild driving a Prius or Tesla truck.

I worked hard to keep my son on track. He has always been into trucks since his first electric Big Foot Truck 25 years ago. His first truck at 16 was a new Tacoma we lifted, did a gear change, riding on 35’s. His last one was an F-350 on 37’s. He sold it to buy a house, but has a 2000 4 runner he is working on slowly. He is going to make it primarily a trail/camping rig. He is a horticultural research scientist (Masters from University of Florida) for King Ranch in Florida so he drives off road everyday, and of course in a Ford F-150. He is a hard core Ford guy.
