The flares are lariat take offs i found on ebay and just had them repainted. The same guy who shot the flares also did my mirror caps. The handles are Lincoln Mark LT handles that I bought from Tasca. They are already painted in dark blue pearl and were just a bolt in. Current prices are 320 for a set of 5 handles in dark blue pearl from tasca. The drivers handle has a new keypad already installed and is plug n play once you bolt it in. All the door handles go in basically the same, with the drivers being the hardest because it has two rods to hook up, one for the lock cylinder and one for the latch assy. the other 3 door only have the latch rod to worry about. The tailgate is a piece of cake, pull the access panel off (8 torx head screws) from the inside of tailgate, under the liner if you have one (same 8 screws hold the liner in place also) then remove two 10mm nuts and the handle comes out. Transfer your lock cylinder over to the new handle and reinstall.
The rear flares have 2 screws on the underside, one on each end. They also have four push pins on the inner fender lip, once those are all off, just grab the flare and yank, the clips wiil pop if you pull hard enough. The front flares have one screw on the rear end just like the rear flares do, the front end has two large studs that go thru the upper bumper cover and have two nuts on the inside that take a 10mm wrench, there are also 3 puhpins on the inner fender lip, now you can pull the front flares. If you break any push pins, don't worry you can buy new ones at the local auto parts store for about 2 bucks for a pack of 5.

Hey bud... seeing how we have the same taste in color and styles, I'd like to know the how too on your handles and flares...I have 7,000 o my truck and the flares are fading, the dealership WILL replace them with the smooth PTM ones for 450.00 and they will paint what ever I have ready at the same time. So either I sand them down and PTM myself, or spend the 450 and get the smooth flares and do the mirror caps ect myself. Could you either PM me or call me to let me know what ya think...I'm in a time crunch cause once the warr claim is open there is a time limit to get it done. thanks 757 735-3770

Where did you get all the led's from? Also, have you figured out a way to change the steering wheel buttons to blue?

I took everything apart and changed all the soldiered LED's to blue, took the cluster apart and took nail pollish remover to the face, and then installed #74 Blue LED's. then made custom needles. I've done some red and some blue swaps. I get 250-300 when I do a full swap. I change the face of the radio, and the a/c if needed. I also send you loaner parts to use while I do the swap.

My old audiophile sub harness is being used now for the rear view camera harness.
How did you get all your interior lights blue?
