Edit: Also you need a new wing panel (the black plastic piece that covers the mirror bolts)

Are those pioneer subs shallow? i got an 03 f250 same as yours, 4 door extended cab, and when I did my system I couldnt fit an regular 12 inch sub under the back seat, so I got an 12 inch kicker shallow sub that already comes in a box, its only one but I am planning on getting another one

Thanks! They are recon "Dark Red" tail lights. The door panels require some modifications to fit but nothing major. They will contact the 99-07 dash but not enough to really matter. Basically you need to remove or cut the black inner handle bucket and then hook on the door panel like normal. Also you will need to repin the driver side window switch and then get a new connector for the mirror switch. I have a work around for the door locks posted earlier in the thread, I highly recommend going that route rather than trying to get the new connector to work with the old wiring.

Got a bunch of stuff in today:
-4x foam 6x8 speaker baffles
-2x blue sea fuse panels
-blue sea usb charging socked
-2x hella 4 relay panel
-some latex tubing for my door seals
-license plate cover to fill the hole in my 08 dash
-some other misc. stuff
Also My parents gave me an early birthday present! They got me an Edge Insight CTS, i had planned to use it when i eventually do a cummins swap to monitor the gauges that i dont have already in my cluster that are normally there on diesels.
Also i took this the other day, does it look like its leaning to the pass side or is it just me? How do i fix it?
Waiting for the photo to upload the photobucket app isn't agreeing right now...

Thanks Justin, good this was the next phase of stuff i ordered, doing a lot of rewiring once the dash comes off. I have a couple switches form OTTRAW on the way should have them this week or next. I'll be ordering the paint this week then start painting the dash pieces once we have a warm enough day to do it.

I still havn't measured each wheel yet, I'm waiting for the snow to melt so i can go right to the ground and make sure its accurate.
I installed my speaker baffles and some latex tubing in my door seal today.
The main reason i did the speaker baffles was to prevent corrosion on the speakers because my stock ones were very rusty and nasty looking before i replaced them. I didn't trim the rear ones but in the front i trimmed around the speakers in order to not interfere with the door panels.
I will post up a picture of the CTS installed later tonight.
