2024 F-150 Lightning Lariat
Just wanted to show off my wannabe Raptor (since they never made one) build for the Lariat. Figured if they discontinued this then i have to drive it into the ground so i might as well make it look fun!

Yes the fenders are the Rough Country Raptor Style flares and yes i did need to modify them to fit but it wants really as much work as it seems and even if it was, its totally worth it i think.

2" spacers
Stock 20" rims
Road-X RX Quest AT tires
Red Brake Caliper covers (not really seen here)
Raptor Grille with hand painted letters (did not hook up pre-runner lights)
3d Tailgate letter inserts (also hand painted)
Shorty antennae replacement
DIY install on the carbon fiber racing stripes and blue stripe as well
Mishimoto plate relocation bracket
blue tow hook covers
Star Wars empire rear logo cover

Did it all myself in 2 days. Very happy with it

I really like that lengthwise blue stripe. I bet it'd look slick on a black truck (like mine) to have a pinstripe like that down the middle (like yours) and one on each side.

Retractable steps might help give it the illusion of a higher stance. I'm digging it.

Thanks! i was torn between the 3 stripes and tightening them up by having a slight overlap on the blue stripe - so it looks like one fat stripe. That would also look pretty good imo!

Looks great. Would look great lowered just a smidge :sunglasses:
I actually think i'll put a level kit on it next year to complete the look but lowering it to level would also work for the racing-truck look.

I totally get that but personally, I had the retractable side steps on my old ICE F-150 and found that it did nothing to protect from rocks off the tires. If you dont need to go off road at all then thats definitely a non-issue and would definitely make it look taller!

Your overall truck is very sharp! From the stripes to the accent blue. Very nice!

What did you have to modify to get the fender flares to work?
