LT tail reflectors I dont like, I feel that it takes away from the overal look.

Other than that looks pretty good. I am not a big fan of non-functional scoops either, but it is just not my thing.

The FX2 lower will fit it you drill a few new holes in the center section and do a bit of triming not a big deal really maybe 15mins extra of install work and time? Thanks to all for the advice and help and i will post the interior pics soon also.............

I'd have to agree on that. Otherwise a very nice truck!

One question though, Why paint a billet fuel door? Unless your close I don't think it would even stand out in the least. Maybe post closer side shot so we can better see the effect of it being painted.

It looks nice but i do agree that those LT Reflectors on the tailgate don't flow. From that angle they deffiantly look like they don't belong their, maybe it just was the angle that the picture that was taken?

Agreed.

I've never liked the LT tail reflectors.

Agreed, somewhat.

I don't mind non-functional hood scoops, but the Roush I've never been a fan of.

I'm also not a fan of painted fuel doors but I do like the look of yours. Are they water spots on the pic?

CW grilles look awesome!

All-in-all, I think you've done a fine job.

Oh.... and, I do like the side exit rolled tips but, judging from the pics, I would have sat them back another couple of inches.

I like the theme but there are a couple things that I think don't belong. They chop up the over all flow of the truck lines and bring your focal point away from the smoothness of the F150.

LT Reflectors
Rain Guards
Nerf Bars

The Fender vents I am still debating. Maybe if I saw them in person I would be swayed one way or the other.

Kevin, you have a good looking truck there. While everybody is commenting on their likes and dislikes, I figure I'll make a comment as well. I would have gone with a "painted" theme instead of chrome because of the painted bumpers. But to each, their own. Still a good looking truck.
