samirar progress thread

When I first got my truck back in 2007





In 2008. I started getting some ideas from the forums and from the members



Then in 2010 I had got some rims for my truck they were Eagle alloy 15x10 and I had let my friend try them out on his truck for a week while I had his 24 inch rims for a week. And during that week his truck got reposed with my rims









Then the next week after I put my factory rims back on my truck. I got in to a wreck and messed up the front end of my truck and got some of the stuff ptm






Then for Christmas in 2010 I got some stuff for my truck



Then in 2011-2012 I started getting rims and tires and trading them till I came across some 15x10's for my truck



I had sold the rock star rims for $800.00 and got a sct programmer for $150.00 used then some another set of rims for $200.00 with some super swampers on them. then I sold them and after I had found some 15x10's I wanted on craigslist

I'm slowly getting rid of the chrome but it is a work in progress. I like the wide rims the 24's were ok but the gas mileage was awful

recent updates. I had a Ford logo made like the ones that go on a Ford Raptor and I took the bug shield off and the door moldings. I'm still debating about painting the chrome trims black or take them off

I say either remove it or paint some more stuff on the truck black first. There's not enough black on the truck for it too flow right.

I would say pull the chrome off but maybe paint the bed rail bars black and leave them. I'm really digging the grill, what did you make it out of?

Love the Grill! Had a similar idea for mine, whenever i get it in the mail. Going to paint the FORD in black, my buddy did it with his company logo and you cant always see it, but you do, its SWEET! lol

I'm planning to take the chrome off. and the grill was made out of some thin aluminum and I got the design from http://www.f150forum.com/f6/raptor-g...d-file-132900/ and I had a local shop in my area to modify it. Then I had painted it red but they cut it out for $40 on a plasma cutter machine
