Yeah, tinted lights are going to look much better. Looking good.

If you are planning to keep the running boards, you should paint them or line-x them black.

Looks sharp, nice job! Did you have to rip off the red rings on the Jesters? I picked up a set last week and found out it's a "kit" that the shop had to put on. I asked them to leave them off as well as the simulated beadlock. I'll probably head to home depot to find black set screws to fill in the beadlock holes.

I see you're also using chrome lug nuts. Those, the beadlock hardware, the running boards, side F-150 badges, and the westing skid plate complement each other nicely.

Very nice, I love the bull bar but just cant seem to pull the trigger with my bumpers PTM being blue (FX4 package) but the black looks great.

Yeah man,don't get me started on those ****ing red accents!!!!I bought them used off craigslist for $250 and removed the red as soon as I got home.The red plastic crap came off easy but the rediculously strong "NASA" grade double sided tape was a different story.....I used all kinds of adhesive removers and finally got it all off.I thought about putting bolts in the holes aswell but after I got them installed I thought it looked good enough vs all the work of blacking the badges and steps out.Lordfyer on here has my headights/foglights as we speak blacking them out.When I get them back and installed I'm gonna make the final decision and what I'm gonna do.With all the cash I have spent in the last few weeks......my bank account needs a break,lol!!!

Thanks everybody for the compliments!!! You guys
