    I did the cup holders yesterday, Couldn't find orange to go with the gauges, climate control, buttons, stereo etc... But found red. Then decided today that I need more red lighting accents so I went back to radioshack and only found 1 red LED (was/am going to do the rear cup holders and door pockets too), Went to another radioshack and they had none.

    So for now I just added the shifter pocket LED.

    Retrofit looks good. Haven't got the nerve up to tackle this or the BHLM yet.

    No. If you go to get it smogged with it on they'll fail you right away. Everyone just keeps their stock intakes and swaps them out before smog checks. Easy as hell to do

    Was a breeze compared to the k&n. It comes off and goes on in one piece if you keep everything intact.

    I did a 2012 f150 with h1s about two weeks ago and am currently working on another set for a friend of mine. They are the only two retrofits I've eve done and they are both h1s so I'm not real educated on the difference in the actual projectors other than the fxr is more difficult to install but put out more light and are more expensive. I'd like to see them side by side for a comparison

    New wheels and tires, vent visors, wade sure-fit mats, and tinted the roll-ups.

    Can someone point me in the direction of a thread that shows the process on blacking out the badges?

    There's info somewhere in here. But I found it easy to just tape off where the badges are before you remove them (so you'll know where to stick them back on), use a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive and fishing line to remove them. Once they're off just sand, prime, and paint then use 3m double sided adhesive to stick them back on. Clean the surface off before putting them back on.

    Thanks Fiend. I've looked into the plastidip thing, but that seems like a cheezy way to do it. Sanding/painting sounds better.

    I sanded and painted mine but I was posting that because somewhere in there people explain the debadging process. I think there's a thread somewhere all about debadging as well.

    ?.....Derp works and can be easily reversed if the owner doesn't like. 8 months and just starting to see a couple of corners after weekly washings. Will touch up in minutes while on vehicle.
