Are you able to post up the pics here Norm? Many of us (myself included) are not able to view threads over at the Z.

Can't wait to see!

First of all Norm, welcome to the forum! I admire your dedication to modifying your Raptor so heavily, but I disagree on your extensive use of Chrome to detail the vehicle. IMO the raptor isn't about flash and chrome.

However, where did you get that SVT Billet lighter?! :thumbsup: I want one in flat black!

Also, can you post a picture of your painted control arm? Thanks!

To each his own. Typically I go mono-chromatic and eliminate all chrome.
I am basicly detailing the outside to match the interior...

Awesome stuff LOC!! A couple of the changes aren't to my taste, but I certainly appreciate the effort and overall picture you're driving at. Well done!

And thanks for sharing. Looking forward to following your progress.

Based on the one pic I don't see how the "CAI" is a cold air intake. It looks like it has a huge reusable air filter that is completely open in the engine compartment. Is there an enclosure around it and is it covered?

Wow thats a lot of chrome:bling:. I personally think your taking the Raptor in the completely wrong direction. From the factory, I can think of only 2 chrome pieces, on the shifter and on the tailgate. And are you really putting 20" chrome wheels on??? :puke: But hey, its your money and your truck, if you like it thats all that matters
