I have a 2000 CC powerstroke that I was wanting to update the front end. I wasnt to sure if I can go to the 08 style and didnt have much luck finding info on it.
So, is this possible?:fordoval:
yes it's possible and YES it's expensive as hell if you do it right!
you're going to need
fenders
hood( cowl if you like )
grille
grille supports( left and right )
bumper
bumper valance
headlights
pigtail harness( conversion ) unless you go to HID's
08 wiper cowl
08 wiper motor
custom bracketry
it takes alot of work!
I would have never imagined when I owned my 08 that anyone would ever consider this given all the negative comments in regards to their looks. I favor the 08-10 front ends a lot myself though. I say go for it, sure beats the additional 30k it takes to upgrade into one.
I love the look of the 08's...had I wanted another truck payment I definitely would have gotten the 08, but I have too much money wrapped in my truck! it cost me a little over the cost of 3 truck payments total...to convert mine to 08....and when the DP photographers were asking questions at Rudys they thought it was awesome, it's always turning heads wherever I go and people are always asking questions.
Have you considered doing an 07? Much much cheaper and less work. Here is a pic of my 01 with the 07. I did the rear 08 but just bolts on. 07 just bolts on and plenty of parts out there for it
if you're still set on the 08 conversion, you can get 99% of the parts from carpartswholesale.com...I picked up everything from them for cheap as hell. Idk where you're located but I still have my stock 08 hood I'd let go cheap as hell as well....you can get a billet grille like mine for about 200 bucks off ebay, otherwise I've got a buddy in the same local area as me with a chrome lariat grille for sale...you would just need to hit up a few websites for the bumper( which he has a paintable one for sale as well ) and your fender vents....
pm me if you're interested in my hood and his grille and bumpers.
