Arrow 2008 XLT 5.4 Dark Blue Pearl Metallic Silver w/ Chrome pkg...tell me what you think?

All I have done to it is the chrome pkg, tow mirrors, bed cover, rough country 2.5" lvl kit, husky liner floor mats, 5% brow tint/20% driver, passenger door tint...tell me what you think...i'd like to have to wheels and tires like the 20" Black/Chrome Moto Metals with some 33" or 35" Nitto Mud Grapps or some Toyo MTs...

Sorry about the darkness of the pictures...the trucks a lot sharper than these present it, the weathers very cloudy today...i know i need wheels/tires to give it that tough look, but i cant afford any right now...lmk what you think

Never been a fan of the chrome package. Looks great otherwise!

You'll find an unfortunate anti-chrome bias on this and most forums these days. The "black out" fad has taken control. As one who likes the chrome, I drive a smokestone chrome edition Lariat - I like it. Love that color blue and the chrome is a great accent. Personally I'd go wth a nice set of chrome wheels - not black and chrome - but wheels, like everything else on our trucks, are a very personal choice. Do it how you like it and don't let anyone else tell you to change it!



PS - just took a second look at the photos - go to stealth auto and get some stealth (chrome) bulbs for your turn signals, gets rid of those ugly amber bulbs - see my sig - very cheap, very classy mod, especially with your chrome package!

I think the chrome package comes out looking pretty good on your truck. The only thing I don't like is the stick-on vent visors, I've always liked the in-channel ones better.

Stealth....eventually everything CHROME will be GLOSS BLACK...

Ricky Bobby FX4... I did get mine from Tasca. The chrome are $170.21 and the all black are like $134. And I ordered and received them in less than 48 hours. FAST SHIPPING!!!

Smokin Lariat...Yeah I noticed a lot don't like the chrome...oh well, we all have our own tastes...

LED150...I hate the sticky stuff from the stick on vent visors, but the in channels are hard on the window motor and wear out over time pretty quick...

everyone else thanks for the compliments so far!
