A different "NEW" look!

So I decided the factory 4x4 decal wasn't doing it for me! The XLT decal is just too plain!

I've always enjoyed looking at the FX4 decals, but my truck didnt' fit the part since it is only an XLT! I didn't want to advertise the truck as something it wasn't! So I improvised a little and came up with this:









I think they look great! At least in comparison to the stockers! Please feel free to comment! Thanks for looking!

Cheers

Nemi

I also wanted to mention the place I had make these for me now offeres them for sale with a "Buy now" on ebay for 20$

You could do the same thing but change the color from red to black or another color.

Dude, all I can say is

so many damn people sticker up their cars and trucks because they like the sticker and advertise their vehicle is something it isnt... few go the extra mile that you have and it looks awesome

Thanks friends!

Sometimes its the little changes that make for the greatest satisfaction! I love how the red shows up on the white! Its enough to see, but not enough to distract attention from the entire truck! A nice blend I think!

Thanks again! Looking foward to sharing more!

Cheers

very, very, clever. but you already got fx4 wheels? i had stock fx4 17's when i bought mine, but got my dad to hook me up with some 18" lariat split spoke wheels with the rubber. direct swap! (hes a tech at a ford dealer.) mixing and matching factory packages is cool.

Good eye's TexasGirl!

You'd think as much as I prefered the look of the FX4 I would have just bought one... but the price on the XLT was just too good to pass up!

I went with the wheels as they look so much better than the other stockers... and they were 18s, and cheap!

Thanks for the comment(s)

Cheers

Nemi

yea, i opted for the fx4 package. when you pay that much for a package, you KNOW everything that is available.

as of price, im in the same boat. with the discounts and rebates i recieved... i stole the fx4 i got. 2005 fx4 extended cab, stepside, two tone, towing package. i love my truck

Sharp looking truck! Its amazing what 2" of level can do for these trucks! For some reason the Lariat wheels in an 18 look far better than the XLT 17's... even though they are pretty much the same wheel! Must be that added 1" in size! lol

Cheers

but its not like they only offered those 17's in the fx4 package. you could also get 20's. maybe one day if 20's aint to expensive ill get a set on my truck but thats not looking to good at the moment.
