For anyone that has an F150 and are interested in getting this grille and headlights for yourself there are Amazon links for them in the description! **DISCLOSURE** They are in fact affiliate links as I created an account after shooting this video :) That does not mean that there is any mark up on my part regarding the price :) Your truck will look awesome if you use the links though ;)
As I stated before, I am interested in your original grille, if you no longer need it. I prefer the horizontal-bar style of grille to the factory grille on my 2017 F150 XLT... let me know if it is available.
Vehicles that have similar colours look crap, plus everybody these days have a black/silver/grey colour on their vehicles and its a straight out boring following the sheep trend. Also its safety issue as darker colours are harder to spot. AutoVlog has 3 vehicles ALL having a similar colour, a so very boring dreary garage. The Chrome adds contrast.
Michael Russell Everybody has chrome these days and on a new truck, it just doesn't look that good. And you can do some nice black on black things that look badass, like red accents. How is it a safety issue? If it's dark outside people have their lights on so they can be seen. I've taken my truck offroading at night and have never had a problem with someone not seeing me
In my opinion modding your vehicle is the best part about owning it. Like you said every time you do it you feel like you have a new vehicle. It brings back that same joy you had when it was new and every time you get compliments for it you just feel special for doing something that made you stand out compared to all the other stock vehicles on the road. For me that's the most rewarding thing about it, that other people get the same awe and joy you do from it. I was at BK today at the drivethru and one of the dudes working the window asked if I had cammed my truck. Couldn't stop grinning especially when he said it sounded like an old school muscle car. To share that experience with others is what is worth it in my opinion.
Check out syppo mirrors they look just like the factory tow mirrors and are plug and play unlike the factory mirrors I have them on my truck and they have been flawless
Nice to see Pittsburgh looking green and lush after the lousy winter. Rewind a couple months and the landscape has changed around you and at your house. Taking ownership of the F150 was a great conclusion despite returning the Fusion. Autovlog is kickin ass with the 2 trucks and the beast in the garage. Good summer ahead i feel. Mods are legit!
I was skeptical about how a grille mod would be worth it or not. Once again, you proved me wrong Mike. It looks like a totally different truck. Totally bad ass! Really enjoy your videos bro. For all the hard work you put into the filming/editing really shows and this is better than watching tv.
You have motivated me to improve my old Mercedes. I have a 1996 Mercedes w210 and I am looking forward to make it better. After seeing the changes you have made. I believe undertaking the MOD on my Mercedes will change the look.
Looks great. On the exhaust side. Anyone living in a: apartment, condo, or neighborhood where the houses are right next to each other will want a exhaust system that is dual mode with quiet and loud setting. Im sure very soon most companies will offer it.
Good morning, i have been following the channel for a while and i have to say you are doing a great job! Your truck looks amazing, as well as the mercedes. I am writting to suggest you may be able to get one of those valves (dont know what the are called) installed on your new exhaust so you may be able to control your cold starts a little and keep your neighbours happy and dont have the need to runaway from your house every sunday or saturday morning hahaha i have seen those in youtube also, they are wireless and could help out i think. Keep up with the good work.
This truck looks completely differently just with these 2 mods! Looks so sick! Can’t wait for the rest of them! I’m so anxious to do this to my F-150...decisions decisions! Ugh!!!
Great video. Adding a supercharger, LED or HID now to those projector headlamps, lift, tinted windows, front/rear bumper, winch, maybe a slightly beefier hood and either get rid of or replace with lower profile side steps.
I have done that to my truck already I have 2015. The anzo are the best headlights I have ever bought. I also painted my FORD to color match my truck. Looks great I agree with Mike on those mods he made. I also used LED headlights instead of halogen bulbs.
Mike you need to black out the two bottom corners of the grill to match the truck. That was a lot of bang for your buck! Money well spent! This build is getting quite interesting, can't wait for the next vlog! Pete
Dude, I'm like addicted watching you guys mod these rides. That F150 looks totally dope! You clearly have great taste & I can't wait to see what's next. Keep em coming - off road bumpers/skid plate, lift etc. Very entertaining so Thx for sharing.
I have the chrome grill just like what you had and I wasn’t sure what it would look like with this grill! Thanks for doing this so I can see what my truck would look like!
I dont understand the need for people to put raptor ripoff grills and cheap aftermarket lights on f150's. I will be interested to see how those lights age on your truck... even if i never do them on my own.
Hello Mike! I'm a fan of yours from Germany and following your channel for some time already. The new front of the F150 is really a big deal! Congratulations! Looking forward to see raptor style bumpers on it.
I face exactly the same thing with my 86 Caprice Wagon with the built 6.6 / 403 V8 with the loudness of the full dual low-restriction exhaust. I would start and leave the driveway instantly to keep peace with the neighbors. You will also come to learn how sensitive some car alarms are when passing through parking garages with a loud exhaust!!
You got a put raptor wheels and tires on it. With a nice lift. I love the truck so far. I wish my grandfather would do the same to his truck! Love the videos! Keep them coming. And by the way the exhaust sounds awesome, never too loud!. Loud pipes save lives!
Put some Amber lights up top, get a hood scoop, get more horsepower on to the engine, get a spray in bedliner, do away with the running boards, get some black bed rails, get some all terrain tires.
Not to hate on anything, it looks great and all, but i wouldn't buy the aftermarket projector headlights, i would use the stock ford led headlights, reason being is you will never get a output as focused and as bright as the led headlight, the aftermarket has a cheap chinese halogen projector with terrible optics and a little 50w bulb, i can guarantee you if you put a hid bulb or led bulb in it you'll have a terrible cutoff line and you'll have hotspots with terrible light throw, you can retrofit the projectors out and install HID projectors that actually focus the beam and has a sharp cutoff, very good light throw and no hotspots but its alot more work then just using the nice set of oem led headlights, and you retain a led turn signal, im just not too sure you can directly swap the led on to the lower trim models, love your amg bro!!!! shes sick!!! keep up the good work!
Those Ford LED headlights are really expensive like $2,000. Light output is not very good, light doesn't really spread out evenly. Properly retrofitted HID headlights with projectors will do much better job.
I have a 2018 5.0 f150 with MBRP pre-tire exhaust and had the same issues. I cut and installed the stock mid pipe with the resonator. Had to use a 2.5” to 3” adaptor. Now it sounds perfect. Might get a after market 3” resonator to install on the MBRP mid pipe.
The F-150 starts to look amazing Mike, as you said I think it would end up looking better than the Raptor. Excellent video. I showed my father the part where you start both engines, he laughed and said "that's the way the Raptor should sound, not with that quiet twin turbo V6, get a real V8" Hahahaha. Awesome job dude, well done!!
For real. He’s just trying to copy the Raptor, a clone will never beat an original. Especially in cars. A gt will never surpass a Shelby, an f150 will never surpass and f150 Raptor
Great video, Mike. I have to admit I wasn’t too enthusiastic about you keeping the F-150 but your mods to date have made me a convert. Keep the content coming and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product.
i was messing, hence y i said lol, ofcourse its a very expensive job to do!... tbh ford shud have just stuck the 5l v8 into the raptor in the first place... its not like ud buy a raptor for fuel economy
Maybe getting diverters for the exhaust and then put a muffler on the diverted exhaust could be like a stealth mode for your truck? The grill and lights look really good, great choice!
Line the bed, bilstein 5100/fox 2.0 shocks, rear sway bar, leather seats, tint the windows, replace all the speakers, replace the deck with android auto/car play deck is all u gotta do now ;)
You should get a rugged steel bumper and some led fog lights, sort of like StreetSpeed717’s DirtyMax and a light bar or some amber lights on top of the roof, that’ll be dope, and for tint go for 20% all around, even the rear windows!! And some raptor like tail lights to complete the look

Your truck will look awesome if you use the links though ;)
AutoVlog I hope you wrap the truck in satin black or black metallic after your done with all the mods.
As I stated before, I am interested in your original grille, if you no longer need it. I prefer the horizontal-bar style of grille to the factory grille on my 2017 F150 XLT... let me know if it is available.
Get one of those super aggressive Darth Vader boddykits.
When you let it sit is also when it burns the most fuel. Can't idle it.
I vote for him to PlastiDip instead of wrapping! PlastiDip has come a LONG way since its day.
AutoVlog you need the led taillights and you complete the raptor look
Do chrome delete for everything chrome!
Vehicles that have similar colours look crap, plus everybody these days have a black/silver/grey colour on their vehicles and its a straight out boring following the sheep trend. Also its safety issue as darker colours are harder to spot. AutoVlog has 3 vehicles ALL having a similar colour, a so very boring dreary garage. The Chrome adds contrast.

Jake Tanzillo I’ve got a better truck than him!! No chrome and I got the grille and headlights wayyyy before he did!
In my opinion modding your vehicle is the best part about owning it. Like you said every time you do it you feel like you have a new vehicle.

Looks good. Just needs black wheels, change up the taillights, remove or paint the side steps black.
Looks really good, but you gotta get rid of that chrome bumper!
thecarexpert21 checkout my channel! I’ve got the better truck and I got the headlights and grille waaaay before he did too
Now you forsure need a Chrome delete package😂💪🏼
jesse hopefully that's next
donald Johnson Yess i hope so too, these mod video’s are the best😍💪🏼
jesse checkout my channel!! I’ve got the better truck with no chrome too. Got the headlights and grille wayyy before he did too
Wow looks so much better Mike! Love it! I love white DRL better, rather then amber...
Love it
You should tell Sydney you bought a new truck again. And film her reaction. 😂
😂😂
I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes chrome but your new grill looks awesome !...it gives your truck a whole new "mean" look!!...thumbs up!!
Fender flares are a must to make that thing look right. Mirrors from a F250 or 350 would look REALLY good
Check out syppo mirrors they look just like the factory tow mirrors and are plug and play unlike the factory mirrors I have them on my truck and they have been flawless
Korey Kramer f-250 mirrors would be awesome
A real raptor with a “DODD” grill would be pretty great.
It looks 1,000 % better
The difference is Night and Day, it looks awesome, good stuff man!
LED looks so much better than that old crap :-D
Indeed!
Tommy Grønvold checkout my channel!! I’ve got the same headlights and grille and got them WAY before he did too!
You are one cool considerate neighbor. If only all neighbors could be that courteous. That exhaust is a beast though, sounds great.
That truck looks sick!
Thank buddy!
Mods have just begun.. wait for it..
Sid Mehrok mine is so much better!! No chrome, better wheels, and got the headlights wayyy before he did too!
I'm not a truck guy, but I am still so glad you get right to it. No 5 minute wait to go over what the title of the video says.
The front is beautiful!
Nice to see Pittsburgh looking green and lush after the lousy winter. Rewind a couple months and the landscape has changed around you and at your house. Taking ownership of the F150 was a great conclusion despite returning the Fusion. Autovlog is kickin ass with the 2 trucks and the beast in the garage. Good summer ahead i feel. Mods are legit!
You should switch the old MyFordTouch system with the newer Sync 3 system!!!
Caden N. not possible unfortunately.
Shubham Sharma It is!!!
Shubham Sharma isn't there some sort of software update?
banessa Ahmed no there isn’t a software you have to change the entire screen.
banessa Ahmed they sell kits online, little pricey but worth it.
I was skeptical about how a grille mod would be worth it or not. Once again, you proved me wrong Mike. It looks like a totally different truck. Totally bad ass! Really enjoy your videos bro. For all the hard work you put into the filming/editing really shows and this is better than watching tv.
Some headers maybe.? 👌🔥
Yeah, maybe a custom 180 degree headers
Damn with a superchager
You have motivated me to improve my old Mercedes. I have a 1996 Mercedes w210 and I am looking forward to make it better. After seeing the changes you have made. I believe undertaking the MOD on my Mercedes will change the look.
Just needs new tail lights and the truck would look amzing
Aaron Pizarro I agree, i have LEDs all around on my Lariat and it makes a huge difference
Boss Man it dose make a huge diffrence
Viraj Sivaprasad and that to
If you get BLIS it has LED tail lights
Cant wait for the wheels! This truck is gonna look so good
Yes Mike!!! That looks sick!!!
With the new grill and head lights, if you do a lift and bigger tires, that will be the meanest looking f150 I’ve ever seen! Looks sweet!!
2:51 I actually thought that you were going to say “I reviewed this ford tempo”
Aidan Wallington Regular Car Reviews Auto Vlog!
Looks great. On the exhaust side. Anyone living in a: apartment, condo, or neighborhood where the houses are right next to each other will want a exhaust system that is dual mode with quiet and loud setting. Im sure very soon most companies will offer it.
Will look better minus the chrome bumper.
Looks pretty damn badass. For a Ford. I’m actually kind of blown away at cool it looks.
That was such an amazing change definitley for the better. Now all the front end needs is an Off-road bumper. perhaps an american trucks bumper.....
but not the big chunky ones. Maybe a pre runner style bumper
Maxwell *Personal Account* agreed. Personally something with a wench if he does go off-roading
Dawson Keech I love that profile pic, "No touchy"
You picked my favorite grille and headlights that I've been staring at for an eternity! OMG SO JAZZED!
Good morning, i have been following the channel for a while and i have to say you are doing a great job! Your truck looks amazing, as well as the mercedes.

Keep up with the good work.
Mike, check noise ordinance for your township. If there isn't one, you can rev the heck out of it an 3:00 in the morning! (most are 10pm to 7am)
This truck looks completely differently just with these 2 mods! Looks so sick! Can’t wait for the rest of them! I’m so anxious to do this to my F-150...decisions decisions! Ugh!!!
Black out that chrome and it will look so much better
Gascans checkout my channel!! I’ve got the better truck with no chrome!! Got the headlights and grille way before he did too
Damn!! That's truck is awesome. Now replace the standard running boards with electronic running boards.
It looks so good
Great video. Adding a supercharger, LED or HID now to those projector headlamps, lift, tinted windows, front/rear bumper, winch, maybe a slightly beefier hood and either get rid of or replace with lower profile side steps.
Subbed to Brian.... 2k 80 now.
Best of luck Brian
That is one mean looking truck now. Can't wait to see future mods to it. Wheels/tires, lift or level, bumper...man that thing is going to be badass!!!
New tail lights please
I think everyone would love to see you supercharge this truck, it’s the ultimate mod!
Looking good Mike!!
I have done that to my truck already I have 2015. The anzo are the best headlights I have ever bought. I also painted my FORD to color match my truck. Looks great I agree with Mike on those mods he made. I also used LED headlights instead of halogen bulbs.
Good job!! Very nice setup. I like where this is going
Not much of a ford guy but have to say the F150 looks amazing. I really like that raptor as well. Both are pretty sweet trucks
Chrome delete should be next
Nicks wwe Recap and more I'm with u on that. I got the sports package on mine to avoid all that chrome
Mike you need to black out the two bottom corners of the grill to match the truck. That was a lot of bang for your buck! Money well spent! This build is getting quite interesting, can't wait for the next vlog!
Pete
It's my birthday today! Just turned 20 on May 20th! Realizing you're uploading on my bday feels amazing.
Happy Birthday!
AutoVlog Thank you!
Happy birthday 🎉
happy birthday kid
Happy Birthday infant lol! Be good 🎂
Dude, I'm like addicted watching you guys mod these rides. That F150 looks totally dope! You clearly have great taste & I can't wait to see what's next. Keep em coming - off road bumpers/skid plate, lift etc. Very entertaining so Thx for sharing.
Looks so good 😍 this truck is going to be awesome it is already awesome but you know what i mean
You had me laughing out loud literally when you started it and couldn't get in gear fast enough and got out quick. Lol.
FLAWLESS!!!!I LOVE IT
Man, Moon Twp Ford is so chill letting you do work and shoot inside their shop!
What size lift are you thinking about going with?
What tire and wheel setup are you thinking about going with?
Incredible the difference a grill makes. Very nice.
It looks awesome mike 😎 I’m ecstatic with u man 👍
I have the chrome grill just like what you had and I wasn’t sure what it would look like with this grill! Thanks for doing this so I can see what my truck would look like!
I dont understand the need for people to put raptor ripoff grills and cheap aftermarket lights on f150's. I will be interested to see how those lights age on your truck... even if i never do them on my own.
electrohacker well I mean he has an actual raptor as well and you can get that grille factory for 2018 for non Raptors as well.
anzo projectors shines like shit
Agreed, looks so tacky
Andrew Schulz no you can not it's not a factory option but yes the dealer will sell you any part they can get there hands on
no you cannot, that is not offered on any factory vehicle. maybe dealers will put it on for you, but not factory
Hello Mike! I'm a fan of yours from Germany and following your channel for some time already. The new front of the F150 is really a big deal! Congratulations! Looking forward to see raptor style bumpers on it.
Looks neat!
I face exactly the same thing with my 86 Caprice Wagon with the built 6.6 / 403 V8 with the loudness of the full dual low-restriction exhaust. I would start and leave the driveway instantly to keep peace with the neighbors. You will also come to learn how sensitive some car alarms are when passing through parking garages with a loud exhaust!!
black it all out and throw raptor suspension, wheels, and fender flares and make a raptor clone! Like a report but with a V8!!
You got a put raptor wheels and tires on it. With a nice lift. I love the truck so far. I wish my grandfather would do the same to his truck! Love the videos! Keep them coming. And by the way the exhaust sounds awesome, never too loud!. Loud pipes save lives!
You should put tow mirrors on it. The will go good with the look of the truck especially when it’s lifted
Put some Amber lights up top, get a hood scoop, get more horsepower on to the engine, get a spray in bedliner, do away with the running boards, get some black bed rails, get some all terrain tires.
Not to hate on anything, it looks great and all, but i wouldn't buy the aftermarket projector headlights, i would use the stock ford led headlights, reason being is you will never get a output as focused and as bright as the led headlight, the aftermarket has a cheap chinese halogen projector with terrible optics and a little 50w bulb, i can guarantee you if you put a hid bulb or led bulb in it you'll have a terrible cutoff line and you'll have hotspots with terrible light throw, you can retrofit the projectors out and install HID projectors that actually focus the beam and has a sharp cutoff, very good light throw and no hotspots but its alot more work then just using the nice set of oem led headlights, and you retain a led turn signal, im just not too sure you can directly swap the led on to the lower trim models, love your amg bro!!!! shes sick!!! keep up the good work!
Those Ford LED headlights are really expensive like $2,000. Light output is not very good, light doesn't really spread out evenly. Properly retrofitted HID headlights with projectors will do much better job.
Sher Nematzhonov True, but I've found numerous gently used led headlight housings for around 400-500$ each, even some that are already blacked out,.
I hope you'll be doing the taillights too. The truck is looking, and definitely sounding, AWESOME so far!!!
looks nice but never say as good as oem...the truck looks like a amazon special...
F-150 KING OF TRUCKS The parts are from Amazon 🤣
yes thats why i said its a amazon special...lol
I love this guy. I see you in the comments bud ! You always say what I’m thinking.
I’m a fan of my exhaust, Mbrp... dual, pre axel exhaust
I like the lights a lot, pretty sweet!
Now just take off that STUPID FRONT LICENSE PLATE.. and you'll be good to go!!!! #NOFRONTPLATE
I have a 2018 5.0 f150 with MBRP pre-tire exhaust and had the same issues. I cut and installed the stock mid pipe with the resonator. Had to use a 2.5” to 3” adaptor. Now it sounds perfect. Might get a after market 3” resonator to install on the MBRP mid pipe.
Now rear ???
Great sound! You’re right about the bumper. New wheels will help too.
please go for a wide stance..
Don't worry ;)
i'm excited :)
The F-150 starts to look amazing Mike, as you said I think it would end up looking better than the Raptor. Excellent video. I showed my father the part where you start both engines, he laughed and said "that's the way the Raptor should sound, not with that quiet twin turbo V6, get a real V8" Hahahaha. Awesome job dude, well done!!
Better than a Raptor, lol. You’re joking right?
For real. He’s just trying to copy the Raptor, a clone will never beat an original. Especially in cars. A gt will never surpass a Shelby, an f150 will never surpass and f150 Raptor
You made a really great point on the Borla ATAK man. I have to get up very early just to get at around 6:30 AM.
Get ADD front and rear bumpers.
You should do a chrome delete on the front and rear bumpers. Paint matched bumpers would look super dope with that setup
She’s a beastttt 😍😍👌
INVESTING HUSTLER - Stocks Money Entertainment checkout my page! So much better than the ones with shitty chrome
Great video, Mike. I have to admit I wasn’t too enthusiastic about you keeping the F-150 but your mods to date have made me a convert. Keep the content coming and I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Really... you couldn't do that yourself. at home. in your driveway.
I looked it up and fitment is a real word. I wasn't sure. Your F-150 looks badass. Just got one and will start its transformation soon.
DO AN ENGINE SWAP LOL... TAKEOUT THAT 5L V8 AND PUT IT INTO THE RAPTOR!!!!
Rejoice Rone very risky and an expensive job to do
i was messing, hence y i said lol, ofcourse its a very expensive job to do!... tbh ford shud have just stuck the 5l v8 into the raptor in the first place... its not like ud buy a raptor for fuel economy
That looks so oem just shows what could of been. The truck is coming along lovely mike.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩👌🏼💯
Love the new grill and lights! also thanks for answering my question. You gotta change those rear tail lights too! black them out.
Lower it ,it will look awsome it sounds great ✔️👍
Maybe getting diverters for the exhaust and then put a muffler on the diverted exhaust could be like a stealth mode for your truck? The grill and lights look really good, great choice!
As a Raptor owner.....I hate these fake grills and anyone who puts one on....
Change out the bulbs to LED for those new headlights and convert the rest of the truck as well :)
Line the bed, bilstein 5100/fox 2.0 shocks, rear sway bar, leather seats, tint the windows, replace all the speakers, replace the deck with android auto/car play deck is all u gotta do now ;)
Wheels and tires, taillights, and bumpers! Then it will be the true beast that we all want to see
You should get a rugged steel bumper and some led fog lights, sort of like StreetSpeed717’s DirtyMax and a light bar or some amber lights on top of the roof, that’ll be dope, and for tint go for 20% all around, even the rear windows!! And some raptor like tail lights to complete the look
Love the truck mods so far. I’ll be getting an F150 later this year. Can’t wait to get that exhaust- it sounds so awesome!
Keep it up. Great channel.
And ya, that front bumper has got to go now haha. Funny how that happens
Like the headlights and I love the Raptor grill, on a Raptor. The DODO grills are just hokey.
Those headlights look great. I prefer the STX grill but this one looks better than the chrome one for sure.
A really nice tip.... Start the truck and immediately put it into Neutral ! Trust me, I had a straight piped car and makes a WORLD of difference
