03 to 08 conversion
hi i currently have an 03 level 2. I would like to convert it to an 08 front end and tailgate and then add the new larger flares. Would anyone be able to tell me what all i will need for the conversion? and if it is even possible to use a 08 front bumper on a 03. I believe u can but i just want to make sure. thanks

for the front you will need: hood, header panel, grille, turn signals, various clips and such. (you will be able to sell your power dome hood for a good profit being everyone wants those)
Tail gate you can just get the emblem put it in the center then instead of putting the Ranger emblem on the left put it on the right to cover the holes of your old ford emblem back there and your done there.
side emblems changed to 06+
now on the flares the larger one's have holes up alot higher then the flares you have now so either drill new holes. or attach it along the inner fender like normal then use Toyota flare tape to stick it to the side of the fenders. its been done before just check around the site

Ditto. Also you'd be lucky for it to fit like factory. Sure you can spend a lot of time painting, shimming, and fitting but it probably still won't be as good as a factory truck.

You need the header panel for it to fit. The panel that the headlights are attached to Right now will need to be removed and install one from a newer truck. If you look at the grills from a 04 + the grills are a seperate piece from the header panel. YOUR grill is one piece that runs under the healights as well.
