Tips?
Those are some things to think about...but I will say personally I do like the rainguards and I dont want a cover. I want the truck to be a little showy but I do offroad occasionally and I do use it as a truck(hauling things in the bed such as wood, atv, etc., pulling trailers, and other odds and ends.) so I dont think a cover would do good for me. About the painting, isnt that stuff already black like the trim and bed caps? Would it look better to repaint them? Thanks for the great options.
I like my truck, but I think it has a little too much chrome for my liking. I bought it like this and have decided that maybe over the summer(or earlier) I would like to change some things to PTM or maybe black. I would like to know what anyone thinks would look good. Thanks in advance for the tips.

Illness95 on this forum has the idea I'm speaking of:

Please don't paint those headlights black, like has been suggested. If you wanna go black headlights, I'll trade you straight up and you can paint and install mine
i agree dont paint those headlights just the valance and mirror caps
Items to paint black:
1. Billet Grille
2. Headlights...see recent write up from Raptor05121 https://www.f150online.com/forums/19...ew-chrome.html
3. Lower bumper (plastic), Bed Rail Caps, Rear Window Trim
4. Paint the wheels black, lots of DIY on here.
5. Tint front windows
6. Smoked Tail lights
Remove the chrome bed rails, Step bars
PTM mirror caps
At the very least, PTM mirror caps, remove step bars and bed rails, and spray the wheels black.

Ok so what about the headlights? I have done nothing to this truck except exhaust and the guy I bought it from really didnt tell me all that was on it. I have found out that my 3rd brake light is the (I think) lightning or some other se f150. And one of my mirror caps are not broken but kind of. It is like coming off but not all the way- Ill get more pics. So how much would mirror caps be? And right now I think I would like to do PTM chrome except for steps, grill, tips, and bedrails. And paint the valence black or PTM or something. Also I like the fog idea. Thanks Guys! Oh and to everyone who said they wish they had a truck like this at 16, I am blessed to have parents that do what they can to get me nice stuff and stuff I want. By the way the truck only has 73000 miles on it and is in awsome condition.
Yes, I added the exhaust a couple weeks after I got it. And it did have a 3 inch tip on the passenger side. Are you located in NC? The guy I got this truck from works at a Ford dealership somewhere around Raleigh.
imo i think chrome is a slap in the face on trucks, that's why i hate gmc sierras, 20" chrome wheels?? come on, that's ugly, real trucks need to look like real trucks, not like jacked up sports cars
I do agree with you about the chrome somewhat, I personally like a little I think it makes it look clean when you want it to be and when you want it to look dirty, well thats when you go have fun and cover all the chrome up with mud. I do not like however, to much chrome and that is why I started this thread. I think mine has a bit to much and would like to know what would look better not chrome. On a side note what about these headlights? Someone please explain them to me? Are they really nice or something?
