Ah cool. Please pm them to me if you can

Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Couldn't Figure out the PM of a pic so I'll just post it.

The valence PN you need both clips. One is the retainer and one is the actual clip. 13 total for the whole valence.

The retainer side panels PN he said it is 20 total, but he wasn't positive it was 20 per side or 10 and 10.

The Retainer PN for the side molding he didn't give me a total, but I think those are easy to count. Just priced out 1.

Prices are listed as well. The valence ones are expensive from the dealership, but the clips from amazon didn't work so trying to find another set before biting the bullet for the dealership.

So after much searching, I finally found a website I had been looking for on the forums for awhile. You order lights from China. Seems fishy but I figured what the hell. I just order a small pair of lights to test it out. Only $15. Lets see how long shipping will take.

I am planning on replacing the stock Fog lights with LED cubes, but I didn't want to buy them just yet. I decided on these 12V 4 inch 18W work lights. Planning on mounting these under the rear bumper as aux reverse lights. I always have issues backing up at night with my 5% tint so these should be a big help.

Will keep the info updated to show how long ordering and receiving takes

Ordered-4/25

Update: Shipment Notification-4/26
Update: Received-4/27

So I received the lights today. 2 day turn around so I highly doubt they were in China ha.

Lights look good. Small minor blemishes from a visual standpoint but I don’t need show quality. Looking forward to seeing how good they work

Hope to get them wire up tomorrow or next weekend.

I'd put some silicone around them. Just in case the gaskets are crap.

So far signal is unchanged. But I haven’t left the normal city areas

View attachment 196887

I have a stubby antenna as well, in city limits I get good reception but out at the homestead (in the middle of BFE) all I get is static, which is fine because I just listen to my music through my phone; however, it would be nice to have the ability to listen to the radio if desired so. The 50 cal bullet looks great, I should've went that route when I got mine!!

That's half the reason I did it. That console double as a receipt and paper trash can for me. When I finally cleaned it out to put the vault in, I found stuff from 4 years previous haha! I love that vault its always got at least 1 gun in there....most of the time 2

Finally found an HD hood. It's in my hometown so hoping my dad will make the drive and go pick it up for me! I think an HD hood in Bermuda Blue will look badass!

If it helps--it does fit in the back of the Hoe.

He has a truck. I’ll be driving through town at some point this month from TX so he’s going to pick it up and drop it off at the body shop for paint and any fixes it needs

On my other Mod in the works, the Aux LED reverse lights. I'm trying to figure out if I have the right wiring circuit planned out. I have researched and watched videos so I think I have it diagrammed correctly. Any thoughts or obvious mistakes anyone sees?

I'm going to double check with the company that puts in all our police strobes and lights in our unmarked vehicles. They do a lot of wiring and I'm sure this is simple for them to double check my diagram and give any advice.

Man, that's somewhere around what I paid for mine. @Galandorian scored his for $50!

I wish! He's def lucky! I'm just struggling to find any. I live in El Paso and check pretty much everywhere on craigslist. AZ, TX, OK. And I'm driving to some training in GA soon so I've checked all the places on the way too. TN, AR, AL, MS, GA, FL. These bad boys are getting more and more scarce.

Hoping my Dad is able to hook me up and drive about 1.5 hrs to get it for me this weekend.

What size are the bolts just in case he has to take it off himself?

Sorry, I don't remember. 13 mm I think.
EDIT: Just 6x 13MM bolts hold the hood in place. Posted on @Galandorian build page.
