New Truck! Need Opinions






Already added a smoked 3rd Brake light, soon to have some harley headlights, and flat black overlays from patriot, can't decide on painting the front and rear bumpers black or not? Also the F150 Badges? Opinions please!

Nice truck! I'd say PTM those bumpers for sure. Did you buy that from a member on this site? Truck looks familiar to me, but it's probably just the wheels and black out theme. Congrats

It looks like krusedisc's truck, that's why it seems familair to you.

On my phone the top valance already looks too be PTM, so just do the bottom valance and a few other misc trim pieces.

PTM bumpers always enhance the look and turn heads... Go in that direction... All that chrome is for the fifties...

You can try that, but I just let the body shop spray mine. They only charged me $50.
