    Awww yes, their LED fogs. Still very doable, under $500 for front end mods

    Yeah, I thought it was a nice clean option. I went with an OEM garnish though just to avoid any TSS issues. Has been great so far.

    I got mine from MadHornets, $85.88 to be exact. The letters come as all one piece which is nice. I wish I had sprung for the lights at the time, because they offer that as well, but live and learn, I think that adding the raptor lots is the next mod in my future. Worth a look.

    Just buy the OEM one. It is not expensive and don't have to deal with knockoffs.

    Hornady is an ammo manufacturer that has an sst line of bullets. I was joking around because the quoted poster said sst when I assume he meant tss

    No, separate part. Should also still be on that same website but the price has gone up on the garnish since I bought mine a few months back.
