i was going to say, to convert a f150 i couldn't imagine how much work that would take.
my brother on his 99' 350 psd converted his front end from a 99' to a 2005 with the headlights, grill, and the front bumper. from 99' to 08'-09' that's quite a leap. just looking at pictures from what i can see the whole front end is different, fenders hood, grill, lights, and bumper so I would think a tremendous amount of work would be needed.

thanks so better off to just convert to the 2005 to get that extra flash vs 08 and 09? any pics of your brothers conversion? any idea how much and does it bolt right on with the 99 - 05?
