Help me pick an upgrade - Poll

I am afflicted. I can either buy new 08+ style mirrors for about $470 ($80 shipping charges suck

)...or I can do the 05-07 front end update.

I really want my X to go from this

to this (lift and fancy stuff later)

Upper Bumper Pad
Lower Bumper Valence
Grill with Honeycomb
Left Headlight + Right Headlight
Chrome Front Bumper

for a grand total of $513 shipped

Give me your thoughts and opinions please. The company on eBay seems pretty legit. It's only a $30 difference mirrors vs. front end update. Luckily I can just modify the 2002 header and don't have to spend the $150 for a 05-07 one.

Although...if I get the 08 mirrors, then sell the 99-07 mirrors I can then go and buy the 05-07 headlights. kind of a mix of both worlds...sorta.

help! I haven't been so torn since I was trying to decide on Supercharging my F-150

The mirrors don't change the look like the front end upgrade does... the front end is the facelift, the mirrors are the fancy earrings you put on after...

The 05 front end is a nice update for our older style. It's next on my list of todo's.

I'd vote the front end change too, more bang for the buck since you already have tow mirrors.

On another note, I bought these mirrors.

I voted mirrors and headlights, but I'm a noob. I like how no one has voted "You're Crazy". That's how you know you're around a bunch of like minded truck lovers.
