I finished up the rubbing compound/plast-x/polish treatment after wet sanding some scratches out during the football games. Just got them put on

looks good!

what process did you use for the polishing and stuff? feel free to PM if you want.

Now it's time to do your 3rd brake.

Maybe its just because of where I'm at in Texas and the law enforcement doesn't care, but I see people with completely black lenses around here. That's why after reading of others getting tickets for tinting theirs I opted to just PTM the inside and not tint.


Yousguyses Trucks look great.

it's the same here in DFW. I see way too many cars with complete black tails. I've almost hit some of the retards (can't use the other word I said when it happened) because I literally could not see their brake lights....literally. all I saw was black and the reflection of my truck in their tail light.

I will be doing a PTM tint treatment on mine, but have to figure out the best way to go about it once I get my tail lights.

yeah, I used to have mine completely black too, until I had a few cars look like they were going to hit me...so I opted for the smoked w/ super bright red LEDs

lights look really good jeff...it shows how patience delivers good results!

Thanks for the compliments guys, finally got the truck looking where I want it. Or at least be happy with it for now...

I'm thinking of some cab length N-Fab steps in black and possibly painting the exhaust tips black to hide them with the step bars on the passenger side. Any thoughts?

Just drove tonight for the first time at night with the newly tinted tails, plenty of light shining through the brake light reflector portion.

The sticker looks Black, silver and white depending on the sunlight/angles. That's just how it came from the factory. I thought about replacing it with a 4x4 done in the FX4 style lettering but have not seen another factory 4x4 off road decal like it so I decided to keep it for the time being.

Here are some of my old F150 that I traded toward a G35, and then ended up buying a Expedition, and keeping the G.

Truck had 265-75-16 BFGs, First gen Edge flash programmer, Gibson exhaust, full Classic soft trim interior with suede inserts.





Now driving this.
