New Mods, New Pictures (HD headlights, LINE-Xed bumpers)

Dropped in the Harley Davidson style headlights, threw on the black "Ford" emblem overlays, and got my LINE-Xed bumpers and spray-in bedliner done. I know the bumpers might not be for everybody but it was a cheap solution to get rid of the chrome until I can source the paint-to-match STX/FX4 bumpers down the road. All the LINE-X on the truck has their kevlar additive which adds a little gloss to it...but the real benefit is the UV blockers to keep it from fading for the life of the vehicle, so it'll look as good 10 years down the road as it does now. I should have the slightly tinted Harley Davidson tail lights and completely blacked out third brake light coming in later this week which will finish off the rear for now, and I still have to decide what I want to do about the front grille and grille surround if anything, and she's basically done in the appearance department at that point.

Maybe it's just me, but those look kinda dark on my screen.

Look good, a little empty on the front end though. Since you don't have any fogs, maybe some aftermarket driving lights.

This would help too, http://www.f150store.com/Shop/ViewPr...&PlateTypeID=1


And of course, chromed turn signals.




Edited to add: I've thought about Line-Xing my bumpers and rockers black to match the paint... was pretty pricey though. What did they charge you to do the bumpers?

Those Linex'd bumpers look sweet! I think the only reason why they work so well is cuz its the same color as the body....I wouldnt change em!

Pretty creative on the bumpers; haven't seen that before.

Just throw on a bull bar and you'll be set.

It didn't cost me much to get them LINE-Xed, but the guy who owns the local LINE-X place is a friend of the family so I got a really good deal.

I'm definitely liking that bull bar and the extra lights...especially since my bumper doesn't have fogs. What company makes that and where can I find it? Looks like Westin on my monitor but just wanting to make sure.
