Project "Predator" Build

Project "Predator" Build
OK, I have decided to start the new transformation of my XLT...Calling it Project "PREDATOR"
Trying to not look like a "clone" of a raptor but a tasteful step in the Off-Road performance direction. Gunmetal/Silver theme, NO Chrome. * I get that this build will NOT appeal to everyone...but I think I will like it!*
I have purchased the following and will update this thread as the build with pics as the build grows.
November 30 2013:
($100) - Splash Bed Graphics (Graphite/Gunmetal metallic)
Cyber Monday Sale:
($370) - Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender Flares
(Like these but painted Silver to match truck)
Dec 2nd 2013:
($500) - Raptor Crew Cab Side Steps Brand NEW on CL
Dec 3rd 2013:
($100) - 2013 STX Grille off CL
(Needs to have trim ring painted and center painted Gunmetal)
Taking in the Grille Surround, Flares & Mirror Caps in for paint next week.
Trying to find a Painted Bumper F&R and going to Plasti-Dip the badges Gunmetal.
FUTURE ADDITIONS to the build will include:
2013 HID Headlights
Fox 2.5 Front Coilovers & 2.0 rear
Camburg Upper A Arms
35x12.50-20 Tires (DC Funcountry or Trail Graps)
Rigid Dually Lights
+More

Like Pizzaman said there is a "Predator" kit out there but this will be my version.
P.S. The Graphics came in today...Im gonna have to wait to put them on and it is killing me! haha. The Custom color looks great too!
Fender FLares are tracking to be here tomorrow, then it is off to the painters after mock up. I will get pics of the test fit if I can.
