Well after some work, i think i am finally happy. Give me some input!!

ditch the chrome center caps, paint all your trim and the front bumper valance flat black

Fog lights?

Looks great!

tonymac97XL · August 30, 2007

I agree on painting all the trim/valence, I've just been too lazy to do the valence on mine... I kind of like the center caps, though...

Overall, I like it!

chriswells78 · August 30, 2007

I'd see if you can find some black vinyl to cover the chrome bumpers with and paint the parts mentioned above.

mounty71 · August 30, 2007

maybe paint the center caps black too, and leave the inner most circle chrome. and eventually get a little bit larger tires to fill in the wheel wells. i really like the black out grill and headlights with the billet grill, looks great!

thats pretty badass but it would look even better with the grey parts of the bumpers black as well

carguy101 · August 30, 2007

the crome center caps make it look like a cop car i like them

gluvsave35 · August 30, 2007

def need some bigger tires!!
but looks good

Looks excellent, but 410 took the words right outta my mouth - the chrome center caps have to go (I still have mine on my black rims, but don't go by me

) and you need to paint the trim and valence. It can be done very easily. I painted mine black instead of the hideous grey that was there. It would make a world of difference. Very sharp truck though. :thumbsup:

Looks like a Police Interceptor Package Explorer (no there wasn't one, but it looks like the crown vic polive package)

catdaddy · August 31, 2007

love the black. :thumbsup:

Mylomeister · August 31, 2007

Looks good! I agree about painting the grey trim black to match but also maybe try smoking the taillights? And I actually like the centre caps as they are... :thumbsup:

BryanB · August 31, 2007

I have been kicking around the idea of selling mine for a black one. You have already done some of the things I was thinking about. I would also lower it, 18"-20" black wheels with polished lip, paint the gray trim black, lose the roof rack, black taillights, f/r bumper covers, Saleen wing (yeah, right!) if I decide to get the black V8 I have my eye on.

ExploringNC · August 31, 2007

I like the black also. I always wondered what the stock rims would look like painted. Black out all the crome and get a more aggresive tire and that would really be a sharp look.

thanks for the comments
when i get a chance i am going to paint the grey trim and i want to tint the rear lights.
maybe lower it.

i also think it looks like an interceptor car, i kinda like it!!

EDIT: i also wanted to paint the bumpers but dont want them to chip, so i might buy some and gets some FOGS!!

That is why you should cover it with black vinyl. If it gets nicked up too bad, you can peel it and replace it fairly cheap.

R.J. · August 31, 2007

i like it, looks good! i think the center caps look cool, and so do the lights and grill and trim that you painted black. and if you like it then thats what really matters.

looks nicer then my truck

:roll:

Thanks

UKExploder · August 31, 2007

I'm gonna maybe rock the cradle the wrong way, but I don't like it much, I love chrome......I do agree about painting the valances flat black though

gomach1 · August 31, 2007

i posted on another forum and got different views, thats cool
i am not sure if i like it, ive been going back and forth

i think i may try removing the billet grill and see how it looks,
i dont want to look gangsta or like it just came off pimp my ride....i dunno but everyones opinion is helping me out---thanks
