The photo was altered to be able to see the details in the black.

It's all black? Didn't you mentioned something about red in the letters?

Nice work...did you use the same LEDs I mentioned? Looks just like mine...

One note, your vent trim looks like it's rocked few degrees to the right...

Yea did not come out good at all, even using a syringe to drop the colors into the lettering.

I suspected that would be tough...the details are too small and FDM printer does not have enough resolution...the best thing to do is make a silicone mold out of the part (if you still have one) and cast it...or better yet, use the file I gave you and find someone who has a 3D resin printer...preferably one that is 4K or 8K...

Yea I got the last three you sent me.

Everything is on hold right now for my truck until confirmation of Raptor order Monday.

It is what it is, with that confirmation I am going dormant to start stocking pennies for the fabrication surely to come. Mainly designing and building a new monolithic roof platform with 8020 materials.

You going to sell your 5G with all the goodies?

Yes for the right price. I'm looking for a specific kind of buyer, not a price any of us would find reasonable (I would imagine) If not I will strip it down and keep the following for the raptor:

- wheels
- rci bed rack
- rci paneling components
- 8 pod storage system
- lighting
- various electrical components
- roof boxes

I'd then and try and sell it with the non-unviersal stuff - decked storage, suspension components, brush guard, etc etc - that doesn't work strip it all the way and sell what I can't re-use.

If by some oddity I could get the decked system to work in the raptor I'd keep that too. I might "make" it work by fabbing up a few required brackets. (really the only connection point to the actual truck are the rear lower tie down points)

I will have to spend a little bit of money on replacing some modified factory interior bits and pieces and fender vents, but not too terribly much.

Look at the door gap where the trim is...your trim is rocked to the right..the gap is correct at top but get tighter at the bottom relative to the door's front edge...
