congrats on the new truck! whats the specs on it?

i agree with andersonS. tint and demolding looks good.

have you seen what ahun98f-150 did to his truck? the black wheels look good with all white paint jobs.

Let see here.... Smoked L heads and smoked tails, remove the door molding, paint the plastic and valance black, black wheels, wide tires, bed line the truck up to the first body line you could do it in plasti dip to make sure you like it first, darker tint, ditch that "sport" sticker, paint those flares black some depo fogs would look sweet on there. Just my opinion, of course, with my opinion and $1.99 you can pick up a cup of coffee at your local gas station. Good lookin beginner truck. Looks pretty much bone stock. Always nice to start with a blank canvas.

Take off the door molding for sure. Those black wheels look good on there.

What to do with white:


I PTM my lower valance, removed door molding, Swapped the center grille out to a Honeycomb style, added smoked amber corners, black Lightning style headlights, DEPO clear fog lights. Phillips Extreme power Bulbs. FX4 17" rims with 285/75-nitto terra grapplers.
This is what it used to look like:

leave the molding on it, with it removed on a white truck it looks like a base model work truck. Tint the head and tail lights. Get some mud terrains. tint the windows and windshield strip 5%. Remove the running boards and it will have more ground clearance.

white/black is good for a "Stormtrooper" look IMO

If it was mine? I'd tint the windows and when the time comes, larger tires on the stock rims. I myself like a lot the style of rim on it now and if they were corroded or scratched, I'd have them refinished- high polish machined face with a dark graphite color on the painted parts. Again, my opinion, chrome looks best with white, but not goddy chrome everything. Really, if I was you, there wouldn't be a lot to do appearance wise to make me happy- good find!
