The XLT chrome package is hounds down the best looking F150 IMO. It just catches the eye, I love it. Very nice truck, congrats on the purchase!

One less DSG truck

But congrats on the new ride, man great looking pick-up, the Chrome Package looks right on that truck. My Dad changed his chrome H-bar on his '07 XLT CE, because it was too much chrome on the front end. But his truck is black--the silver/chrome compliments each other, on your ride.

Well I ordered my Painted Door Handles a week and a half ago and still have not shipped from Tasca Parts....they were supposed to be my first mod. But alas I have done two others first: Weathertech Mats & 20% Tint

Did you clay bar and wax that thing? The paint looks like it's got some depth. Sweet ride!

THANKS!
....every 6 mo on all my vehicles I use this process:
Clay bar
XMT 360 by Pinnalce to seal
then XMT Carnuba Finishing Glaze

THEN, for maint care every 3-4 weeks I use the FW1 "Fast Wax" spray.
Works Like a Champ! Its amazing what this stuff does on chrome!!!

Thanks for the info. If I had the time I'd be on a consistent detailing schedule like yerself.

I clay bar every other year. Use pre wax cleaner before I wax however. Is it ok to clay bar every 6 months for the next 10-15 years?

It's amazing how the pictures actually showed off your work!
