I will have to double check my receipt but I called Banks directly and I was able to get 12% off the list price and only pay 50% of shipping. I think I paid $650 shipped to my door.. It is a complete bolt on system, Very simple install and good fit.

Truck looks really good.

Just a heads up with the nite-shades on the bulbs. I've had a bad experience with the bulbs basically baking the paint giving off fumes and it permanently stained the reflector in one of my mustangs. Keep a very close eye on them.

I just looked at my receipt from Carpartswholesale.com and the item # is REPF017506Q

Copy and paste into the search box on their website.. It looks like the price went up a few bucks.

Valance was really easy to do.. Approx 25 mins to take off FX2 valance and install 4x4 valance..

I cant see your photos? Not sure why?

I got my decals in from PatriotDecals.com, I had them custom make me some BLACKOUT decals to mimic the Raptor font. They came out pretty good! I plan on adding a few things to the bed decals but not for a few weeks.





They sent me a few extras so I stuck one on the radio bezel


This needs to be heated up with a hair dryer to get the edges to stretch and stick.. I'll get that done next weekend so it looks smoother.
