I finally got my truck clean so I could take some pictures of it.
Since last posted pictures:
Bed repainted under warranty, roof also, removed all decals, Changed silver 2 tone to dark charcoal, added white/black gauges, new front license plate made, installed 2001 L Tail lights and SVT badge, new Flowmaster 40 series exhaust, and added my new 5.4L emblem courtesy of Howies_f150.









Let me know what you think. I like the new 2 tone scheme. I am ordering the 01 L head and corners soon.

i also like the charcoal color change. just one small question. why are you ordering the 01 tails since you already have them? it was probably a type or something. but your truck looks real good. great job.

im still waiting to see the 3 bulb altezza on a white flareside before i do it.

 

WOW!!!! That looks fabulous lariat4wd!
That charcoal blows the silver away,lt goes better with the black. That truck is CLEAN,makes it look even better!

Wow, looks SUPER!

I really like those tailights, lariat4wd! Mainly because I'm considering the same ones. All the mods are great!

Lariat, I like the two-tone scheme, looks great! Much better then black and silver! I've been contemplating adding a two-tone to mine but can't justify the cost yet... thinking of possibly getting it rhino lined with like silver rhino lining or something then I can at least say "well it'll protect it better then paint!" .
Looks good.

Charb, I think they ar NR Automotive gauges. I got them from the F150online Classifieds for $75 from some guy, brand new though. They are normally $129 from www.nrauto.com
The gauges are black looking at night with greenish-yellow backlighting. Going to change the dash lights to green for a more OEM look.

Mine also has the digital odometer.

Mattbert, don't go for the 2-tone. I wanted to make mine all one color, but this was the easiest and cheapest route.

 

Yep Shifter,
I agree. All black looks great. But the charcoal looks better than the silver. It was cheaper than painting the whole side of the truck,too ,,,,,,98

Nice ride!
Who makes the white/black guages you purchased.What color is it at night and how bad was the install.I have a 2001 with a digital odometer will that make a diff?And finally if you don't mind how much?

thanks

 

The install was easy.

My bed and roof (and hood soon) all had factory defects. Buying ProGlass shaker hood and they are painting it for me.

lariat4wd, Just wanted to know how much your two tone lining cost you? I like the new look,looks great. Also, one extra thing where did you get your front license plate? I like that. Again really sharp looking truck! Thanks.

My truck was already a factory black/silver 2 tone truck. I just had them change it to dark charcoal when they repainted the bed and roof under warranty. It cost me $275 for the lower portion, the 4 flares, and the front bumper insert.

I got the plate at www.toppertown.com
It's a local store for me. I think almost anywhere that sells custom plates can get one for ya.
Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad everyone agrees with me on the change. I was a little worried when I first picked it up, but it turned out great.
