For the 2011 style
Well, fenders,trim,emblems,inner supports, liners etc are going to run you about @ $600 each. (The emblem is $102ea by itself)
The grille, grill surround, brackets, braces, lower mount, etc are gonna be @ $1000.00
Hood w/ supports, latch hardware, release cables, etc is gonna run @ $900.00
Bumper w/ brackets, supports, etc. @ $600.00
Headlights, bulbs, wiring harness @ $700.00
Paint @ $700-.00 - $1000.00
Misc. part, fabrication supplies, weld wire etc @$250.00
There could be more that I dont know like cowl, wiper motor and such that is needed for the 08 conversion. Adds about $500.00
So I would estimate it to be @ $5500.00- $6000.00. This is assuming all new Ford parts. I am sure there are some used ones out there. Those are just rough estimates, you could always check with one of our sponsors vendors for a more accurate price quote.
Add another $1500 or so for the correct mirrors too.

Here is my 05+ front end on my 01 with black and chrome. Changed out header panel, harley lights, grille and complete bumper with brackets from salvage yard. I havent seen anyone else with the black and chrome combo, all Ive seen have the tan upper pad or black grille and painted front bumper.

Ok, I have my parts all here and ready... I think. Can you guys look and see if you see anything I missed?
05 chrome bumper (they were out of the paint to match)
05 Harley lights
Riffraff headlight wiring plugs
05 Lower valance
05 Paint to match upper plastic bumper thing
05 Header panel
05 Chrome grille
I got the lights and header panel off tonight before almost falling asleep, want to finish it up tomorrow. What exactly do I need to be doing? I know how to do it I just want to make sure I don't have any surprises is all
I am missing the new Ford oval for the new grille, anyone have a good place to get one?

No, the brackets were $17 each so I decided to try it without them. Are you saying I need them or no?
