Just got my Raptor 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love it! It's an amazing truck. It is a 2014 Tuxedo Black SCREW. It has the 801a pkg, black interior, bed extender, tailgate step, hood graphic, bead lock wheels, and moon-roof. This is going to be my slowly progressing build thread. So far I have changed all interior and exterior lights to LED.

The Truck:

Update #2

Ok so I did a couple of things today. I installed the Weather Tech bed mat, and the under-seat storage compartment.

I'm going to install the Backflip XD tonight, and I'm getting the windows tinted Monday.

Got the Truck tinted today. Just finished about an hour ago.

The legal tint percentage in my area is 34%.

I decided to match the rears. He measured the rear tint out to be 22%. The closest he had to 20% was 17%. So that's what I did.

Here it is:

It's been awhile since I've updated this thread. I've added a few things since my last post.

- KC LED Raptor Fog Light kit has been installed.

As much as I do not want a black one, I just can't escape it's sexiness. Black with the beadlocks=gorgeous.
