I hate you guys. Every suggestion sounds great and you are all so good at spending my money. Good thing I hit for 346$ on penny slots last night. But I am driving up to redding,ca tomorrow so I will spend most on gas/junk on the way. But alas, I am off to get some paint tonight.

 

I have got to figure out how I am going to get to the back of the bumper. Need to search the site for little bit.

 

Just an update. changed out the stock valance withone from a FX2 (thanks bankrpt) last night. i need to figure out what to do with teh black inserts. i didnt like the thought of painting them white, nut black only goes with teh mirrors... any suggestions?

 

Looks great.. I would leave them as is

 

i would do PTM bumpers next it looks a lil odd for the valence to be white and bumper being chrome and ptm grill surround

 

Nah the chrome is staying. I don't want the whole front to be white.

 

i hate chrome bumpers but it looks good on your truck.. sweet lookin truck
are you still doing the lower grill idea ...i think it would look great

 

ghosted out f150 ?? lol jk the truck looks good, maybe some white inlays for your emblems ??

 

i like it nice truck

 

did you have to sand the door handles and valance? the truck looks great.

 

i am, i just have to pull the whole bumper off to do what i have planned. when i get a few days off i will tackle the bumper grill. stay tuned

i have a "source" for a truly unique front emblem and yes i plan to overlay the rest with white inlays.


the handles took a lot of sanding as they texture make them look dull the first time i did them. the valance was pre-painted when i got it but it was grey so all i had to do was 320 grit it to get the clear roughed up to accept the white paint.

 

Lookin pimp son........ Why don't you paint one of the grille surrounds white for me to try and see if i like it? and i can send you my chrome one back for a spare.

 

Looks great man!

 

Looking good.

I finished my PTM project a few months back almost just like yours.. I did handles, bumpers and mirrors.

 

thanks guys!!!

screwme, i PM'd you

new breed,
feels good to get it done doesn't it?!
how where the bumpers to paint? i hear chrome is a PITA to paint. i am re-doing my antenna base tonight and the sat antenna tomorrow. i am looking my mirror caps over because they could use a better sanding job and i hate it when i look at them cause i see it.
