Well to give you an idea I am eventually doing a custom exhaust, 3d carbon body kit, 1.5" lowering kit, led spot lights behind the grille, some bigger rims, appradio or similar, maybe a supercharger or small turbo and some helwig sway bars lol...not too maby ideas but a few.

Yup its been done, I was looking to gey better mpgs by lowering it slightly. Honestly I agree though I am a lift it type person. I will post a pic of what I am going for once I get back to my computer.

Here is a pic of the new grill emblem from Billet Badges! Powder coated black with the charcoal gray filled text. I got it in last night i waited forever for it, I am going to pain tmy side vents that are poorly chromed on the grille and then stick this puppy on to complete the grille.

that is a 9" oval with powdercoating and paint so it is fairly large keep in mind but it was $120 however without powdercoating and just polished that takes $20 off and the painted text costs $20 it was $10 cheaper than a raw oval which is $90 with the ford text but that is because they make a ton of this style. One with just the blue background i think is like $100 keep in mind that it is a 9" oval so the smaller the cheaper like the 99-07 tailgate oval would be $90 with my options.

I am not exactly against lowering as really I don't mind a nice lowered car or truck in 2wd but 4wd is a different question. Of course you won't be brining your expedition off roading like most of our 4x4 trucks see so I guess it is ok.
Anyways I really like the grille emblem might have to look into something like that for my 88 F150 and the 02 F250.

That would look really nice and wouldn't be that hard to do. Some lights and attention to details. The interior already looks badass too!

We can do that! All we need is a strategy read from the vehicle and we are good to go! =D
