Ok, so I need some opinions on the next exterior mod or if I should just leave it alone. First off, the truck is going to get 36's, 4:56 gears and a programmer eventually. That probably won't happen until next summer though.

Few things I'm considering:

1. Bushwacker pocket flares-painted or black
2. Go Rhino push bar-Just the center section without the headlight wrap-arounds. On the bar 4 6" Off road lights with HID conversion. I'm considering getting rid of the bull bar because they are becoming very common and they aren't sturdy as my lights bounce really bad on the dirt roads.
3. Black billet replacement grille
4. Hiding the exhaust tips

EDIT: Keep the bullbar, pull the lights off it. Get a billet replacement grille and run 4 HID lights behind the grille??

I'm growing to hate the chrome lights I have on the bull bar so they are going even if the bull bar stays. Also the exhaust tips drive me NUTS as its the only shiny pieces really left after the lights go.
Those are just a few things I'm kicking around but I'm open to any other opinions. OR should I just leave a good thing alone? I get a ton of compliments on the truck online and everywhere I go and I'd hate to "over do it"

Eventually I'm going to black out the F-150 badges and re-do the stereo but all in time.

Your truck needs width, so hopefully the 36's are a 13.50 or 15.50. If you go with the flares, you have got to paint them PLEASE! even if you have a 'blacked out' theme' painting the flares will keep a very clean look to the truck. Not painting them makes it look like you just threw them on...yuck.

Have you thought about some chrome front signal bulbs? you may already have them, IDK. but it would do away with any orange glow behind your tinted heads when they are off.

Personally I would go for things that keep the clean look of the truck, so paint the tips, and why not the lights too? If you went with the billet replacement grille, but your lights behind the grille and do away with any type of light bar/bull bar; this would really keep clean lines on the truck..

 

That's interesting, I'll look into that.

I may color match, not sure since I have the black/grey theme going.

I 100% agree the truck needs a wider stance so the 36's will be 13.50's. Flares could make or break the look with the wider tires.

When the lights are off the tint is dark enough you cant see the orange. I have considered the clear/amber flashbacks so I can do away with the amber at night too except when turning.

I want to keep the clean look which is why I was worried about over doing it. Other than being lifted I like the small mods that only another car guy would really snap their neck to take a look. The more I think about the grille and lights idea, the more I like it.

 

I like it as is - nicely done. What lift/tires/gears do you have now?

Maybe lose the bull bar, but otherwise it looks real good to me.

You need rims with less backspacking. The tires are tucked too much for how tall your truck is, looks unproportional. This will look even more extreme if you get flares. Maybe sell your current wheels and get some that push the tires out more.

 

I searched for months for a wheel I liked that wasn't the same as what everyone else had, they aren't going anywhere. Besides wheels are too expensive to buy twice. I'll end up buying spacers to move them out a bit.

As far as the grill here is what I'm thinking except for 4 lights. This is Timelessr1's truck.
