I just checked the dealership inventory online and they either sold it or wholesale'd it because it's not listed in the used vehicle inventory.

Front Clip Conversion Build Cost
Archtaan,
Do you remember the Build Cost for the Front Clip Conversion. I have a 2005 that Ive already lifted, tires, rims, etc... Now I would like change the appearance as you did.
Thanks,

Here you go
2008 RA Bumper $1500
12,000# Winch $1000
Lightforce lights $300
Piaas X4 $450
Ford Hood, Fenders, grill, grill braces, 08 hood struts, bump stops, primary and secondary hood release system, 2 piece fender emblems, 08 fender liners, 08 wiper cowl, 08 wiper motor, all new ford fasteners and hardware $1800
4 square feet 3/8 500B steel for custom bumper mounts to 04 frame $200
Paint $450
Recon Projector lights $650
Sawzall blades, plasma cutter tips/electrodes, weld wire $35
Misc rod, wire loom, square tube, nuts, washers, wiring, etc. $50
Busted knuckes - x 10 - free
So actually closer to 7K I guess. Less if you use a factory bumper. You would need the bumper brackets too. I guess around $600 for those parts < the lights, winch, bumper etc so it would be A $3800 or so if you have a plasma cutter/cutoff tool, welder and such.
It could be done for a lot less though, but I splurged for a lot of extra's and only used Ford parts. A Ford hood is $600.00 while a CAPA hood is like $200.00, same with the fenders.

Everything except the headlights, road armor bumper, winch and custom brackets came directly from the Ford parts counter. You could probably find some nice used take offs on eBay or craigslist for the bumper and brackets.
