I got an Idea

So ive been trying to think of new ways to mod the truck, now that I have a color scheme and overall theme im going for in trying to think of how I want to do it. so here are some ideas

I know my front end has the "work truck" look to it, but since my theme is red/black I was thinking painting the surround black with black roush or fx2 grill no emblem, black bumper cover and black bumper....along with blacked emblems & maybe red fire metallic inlays and Black(harley) headlights to match the tails......along with soon to come black powdercoated rims....I know some chrome will be on(toolbox and exhaust tips) but I can fix that as well


Other idea was get the surround and upper bumper cover PTM with black roush or fx2 grill, black headlights, and black bumpers...along with the emblems and wheels idea from above.

What do yall think would look best? Open to opinions and ideas!

can you do some rough photochops to demonstrate? a few simple MSPAINT jobs would be good enough to demonstate IMO

I honestly don't think it'll work real well. I could definitely see the wheels being PC'd black, but the whole front would be over kill. I would focus on getting the front bumpers PTM.

PTM Bumpers, and powder coat the wheels. Then see where you are at.
