Sorry, I meant to type your AF gauges, still an easy install? Any hard wiring to do? And about painting your bumper pad to match and including the stripes..sick sir, I love seein painted to match pieces..makes a truck look even more custom...plus, the contrast with the chrome will be awesomeeeee

I'll be honest and say that when I saw the original truck i said to myself, "now what in the heck can you make out of a long bed v6 f150?" Needless to say,,it's turned out pretty darn nice so far. Great work!

Install was done by my budies performance shop Pro-spec...

thanks for the input regarding painting.. i think the white would help bring in body colour into the bumper and look good too... plus bring down the stripes

Another vote for the bumper idea... that would look very nice and bring some contrast to the front.

tyc is the only aftermarket lighting company i would ever go with.. my tyc's and oem headlights are virtually identical and tyc has the reputation to back it up as they also make oem replacements... never leak, match perfect... hence why i have them as a backup set.

if and well i sell i will post them up... would be decently priced however they would solely be the headlights and you would need corners which can be found dirt cheap....

Very nice work Grafix! thing doesn't even look like an XL anymore. Great job. Have you thought of putting some carpet in? I really think that would complete the interior! Just my .02.
