My truck pics

Here are some pics of my truck i got a few weeks ago. Its a 2006 XLT scab with 21000 miles. Really clean truck. So far i removed the bug sheild and put the roush grille on and a truxedo lo pro cover. Next on the list is window tint.

Not sure what else. Kinda want LT handles but they dont come in Bright red. I also like the look of lighted roof visors but im worried about wind noise.

nice

don't do the lighted Roof visors. my last F-150 had one. it was the biggest PITA I've ever had with any vehicle. it leaked, the lights shorted out, water dripped from the leading edge and caused water spots every single day

again, avoid those LUND visors like they have the Black Plague.

it did look awesome at night though. have you thought about running cab lights instead?

You could get your handles smoothed and painted, that would look hott. Tint those windows and paint the handles an call it a day. Truck looks sharp as is....

Yeah that was another thing i was worried about with the visor, i do really like the look of them though. I dont think i would cab lights, seems like alot of work for them.

Im still thinking about doing that to my handles. I saw a guy today and he had his painted along with the mirror caps and he said it was like that way from the dealer when he bought it new this year.

I only took it off because the black shield didnt match anything. If i put one back on it will be painted one.

yep, 07 guys got lucky with PTM mirrors, door handles...but they got screwed with less sound deadening 1/2 in 1 hand, 1/2 in the other. luckily all the PTM can be ordered and is a direct bolt in
