topic...lookin at gettin some 20s off ebay or from SpeedConcepts.com and prolly tires through a tire shop that can hopefully put on the TPMS hardware. Can a shop put this on or does Ford need to?

no any shop can, for instance sears can. but like many shops that i know of is that if you supply the part they dont guaranty the install due to they didnt get the part and install.

If you can get your old sensors out of your stock wheels, it's simple enough to install once you have the strap kits. But to answer your question, yes.

Yup....a shop took my old sensors off my stockers...put them on the bands I bought...and then put everything on the new rim. I feel like I have said this before......

Well I know all about the new band thing, but I am going to keep my stock wheels for the winter months and use the new wheels for the Summer, therefore, I need completely NEW TPMS hardware.
So if I just go to a tire shop and say, I have these wheels and tires and I need you to order and install TPMS hardware, that's something they can do? I have no problem letting them supply the part, I just kinda figured it would be difficult for them to get it for some reason.
