When I found this on ebay I was stoked. I had it in my 08 xl and loved it. I like the 11th gen group so far. I really prefer forums over FB but seems everyone has moved on.

 

Isn't that the truth. I'm sure the forums will make a come back.

 

Love the looks of the F-sides, they caught my eye back when I was looking and so .... that's where I ended up.

Rubber floor mats are very utilitarian, easy to clean, especially good if a working ride!

I see you mention new headlights ... but I see new tailights too ? What are you using there?

 

Stock tail lights. They are repos but we will see how they hold up. This truck will be ebay and amazon friendly.

 

OH, I thought maybe LEDs or something. I picked up a set of take offs that were scratch free on Ebay a couple years ago (they were pretty cheap) with the idea of playing with adding bulbs or LEDs in the upper part. Haven't done it yet. I do prefer the OEM look to the AM ones I've seen.

 

Just purchased some fx4 wheels. Going to either bedliner them or powder coat them black.

 

Just bought an expedition center console. I need to stop buying and start putting on.

 

I think I would try black Plasti-Coat before bedliner?

 

I think I will try the paint route first. I don't want to ruin them.


Also picked up a few things.

First off an expedition center console. I saw someone doing it on another F-150 forum and started digging around. LKQ had this for $25 and the cup holder for $12. Plus another $20 for shipping and it's a cheap upgrade.




Many may find this as a downgrade but just like the rubber floor I like these better. It's a NOS rubber steering wheel. I had one on my 08 and loved it. I hate how the old leather feels in my truck and decided to pull the trigger when I found it on ebay. All I have to do is paint my air bag and it will be mint.

 

looks good!

 

That's the beauty of Plasti Coat .... it peels off when you want to remove it.

Or look on Ebay for Vinyl Wrap ..... I recently bought some from a vendow in chrome, gloss black, textured matt black, and smooth matt black and it has "air release" channels in the adheasive and it stretches around corners, etc. These bumpers would be easy.

 

Link to the textured matte black?

I am open to options at this point. I thought about wrapping the bumpers on my 2012 when I had it. Just never got around to it.

Did a little mock up today. Going to trim some. I got the idea from another site and found this thread. He trimmed a little bit and it fits pretty good. If i can get there with fitment I am happy.

 

Got it in today.
