Got the GT500 kit from Kevin over at Clevinger Ford. Got the clear lenses of off ebay and amber bulbs from automotivelightingusa for $67 total for both, much cheaper than other online kits.

What I was quoted was 1200 for the bumper and the TF Venom hood, 550 for all the fender work. It'll go up a little since he had to work out some defects on the hood and I'm having him fabricate a locking mechanism for the recessed hood pins. Other places in the valley were coming in much higher and I've seen his work before (you probably have to without knowing it) and his paintwork is excellent.
Nice guy to deal with and down to earth. www.primocustoms.com

Looks outstanding thus far....and totally familar as well. My conversion is still very fresh in my mind so I definately understand your excitement. I sure wish I coulda done the fender badge removal too....between that and 05 slipping in the 'I had the painter remove the locating spots on the bumper for where the license plate goes' I know now my conversion could have been even better, but money dictated how I did mine and I can certainly live with the results.
Yours definately looks outstanding thus far. Are you putting stripes or a stripe on yours (I cant remember what you said you were going to do in your pm), and if so, what color??
Keep us updated. Everything looks great thus far.

I think yours turned out perfect and you shouldn't have any regrets about anything!
