I've seen a lot of really rediculous and insanely ugly things that people do to their vehicles...you know, the ones when you see them and you just want to slap the person that did it cause it was the worst idea ever.

Well, what you've done here would be the exact opposite of that!!!!

RIGHT ON MAN!!!! Great Mod and equally Great Work. I absolutely love the clean look of that!

Your whole truck looks really good!!!!

Normally I would say don't ruin it! But I've got to admit that not only looks good it totally cleaned up the lines in the rear of the truck. I've never seen it done on an '04-'08 body style.

Great job!!!

Im not really a fan. Deleting the badges cleans it up, but deleting the tailgate handle ruined it for me. I would have left a PTM handle, then it would be perfect IMO.

I dont know how i feel about the ginormous FOX sticker on the back window either.
