SRTKR’s Build Thread (Velocity Blue Paint Matched, Including Grill Bar)

[Srtkr]

That blue grill across makes it pop I have shadow so idk if would look good all blacked out

Yeah that’s hard, doing a nice satin black would look good imo

Superb enhancement! In my opinion the painted plastic is just the touch that Ford needs to add to the 2023 Lariat trim, to give it enough of that extra edge over the other trims.

Latest mod was figuring out the factory lariat wiring as it’s different than XL and XLT. Here is operation of the lariat switch backs installed Matt bullseye customs.
I’ll be posting a “how to” in a couple days

Looking good! I believe I spotted you a couple times yesterday afternoon cruising around.

I’m curious how the painted plastics are holding up

If it was in Shorewood then yup that’s me.

Everything’s perfect. Holding up against rock chips really well also. Probably because it’s thicker than factory paint lol

For some reason I was thinking you were in Texas
When are you going to lower it?

Those headlights look great! What was the turn around? Not sure how long I can go without the Mav as it is my only vehicle at the moment. Could always borrow a loaner from work for a couple days if needed but not much longer than that without someone getting mad lol

Great build man, love the direction you're taking it. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Ahh I wish lol, ideally i want to wait for someone to offer coilovers for the hybrid (hoping for BC, fortune auto or KW) however I’ve been thinking of doing springs in the meantime.

thanks man, appreciate the kind words. I think it was close to a month I waited for the lights. I shipped them to Texas and back so that took some time. Not sure where you’re local too but I local is always best. I had the truck apart for paint work so not like it was being driven.

if you can find a local shop then most of the time they can get the lights done in 1-2 days depending on scheduling.
