I have to agree

 

damn.. you have gotten a beating!! well i like the new look it is good to change it up sometimes and plus you came out ahead and got to pay off some bills that is always important!
it might look cool if it was powder-coated all black

 

I have to say I have, they dont take it easy on me here

I wish I could figure out to work this damn GIMP program so I could do all the photshopping myself. I would like to see how they look black as well.

 

maybe ill do black tomorrow

 

if the specs are near stock , i wouldnt bother doing anything with them ,

how much clearance do you have between the tire lugs and the knuckle/control arm , they prolly rub right ?

 

nope no rubbing whatsoever

 

Im starting to think it might look better all black.

 

I think so.

 

They are really giving it to you Jditta I like the old look, but completely understand needing to change it up after a while. Hopefully youll be able to figure out what you like best. Let me know if i can help ya out

 

If i could find someone with photshop I'd be set. I really cant make up my mind, except for the gears. And I'm starting to think about painting the headlights black.

 

Old rims with the new tires would be the best look IMO.

 

Yea, I'm tossing around alot of ideas right now. PTM bumpers, lt handles, chroming or blacking the rims.

 

here is a couple of ideas for paths you could go down...

The maroon/blacked out look is not one i often see. Get some different wheels (black), black headlights, nightshade the tails or get harley tails, PTM the handles maroon also PTM the mirror caps maroon, PTM the bumpers maroon. Get a black grille ( a honeycomb grille with the emblem delete like patmans would be sweet) then you could get the little insert for the lower grille and be set. You could get some flares of some sort and either PTM them maroon, or leave them black.


If you went back to chrome, just get some different wheels. PTM the handles or get some LT handles, get a roush grille and create a lower insert grille to match it. You could leave the bumpers or Have them PTM that is a toss up. Kinda model this version after thumpermx113's truck in a way.


Also my bumpers came painted since its an FX4

 

I like the after. Everyone likes the "old" ones cause that setup is basically standard on all lifted 2004+ F150s...haha....

Old ones are way better dude! Its would look sik though if you got all black wheels.
