lightning head lights and clear corners for sure, and window tints if your state allows them (i live in NJ and they don't allow them, i personally don't think that they are worth the problems you get from them if state wont allow them, tickets, inspection, tickets and more tickets). i do like tinted windows though

 

Lift it and get 31" tires

 

Chrome front bumper and black out the windows(even if it's illegal) Window tinting should be pretty cheap and looks kick azz on white!!!

 

tint is good to a point... blacked out limo tint is retarded imo.. not safe at all

--

i think ptm handles would be better.. chrome handles would look weird imo...
painted mirrors too

 

Yeah, I'd like to swap out with some of those fatter electrical mirrors with the white covers on them I think they're from the XLT's.

I have tint, but plan on removing it and adding it down to 15% once mine starts peeling (its alredy 8 years old)

Still looking for those PTM handles, I'd rather not replace the whole assy.

So do you guys think a chrome front bumper is better than PTM?

 

Dumbass, I didn't say I gained 40 HP by throwing on a K&N filter and a Flowmaster muffler. I'm not some 17 year old kid (no offense Raptor), I said the main power gain came from my 93 Octane Troyer Performance Custom Tune, but was supported by the 3.25" Airforce One intake and True Dual exhaust.

But since you've suffer from this,

I will show you...

Here's the only truly stock "dyno" I could find, and it puts the 5.4L at just over 200RWHP


Here's my dyno showing ~254RWHP.

Now in my previous post I was referring to HP at the flywheel, since that's what our engines are rated at. So, take the 300HP at the fly wheel and lets say 215RWHP (just to be generous). That's a drivetrain loss of 28% ((300-215)/300)*100 if you don't know the math...

Now, lets take my truck with a RWHP of 253, factor back in the 28% drivetrain loss and we get a flywheel horsepower of 355HP. (.28=(355-254)/355)

Now, what's 355-300 smart guy? Even if you factored in the 28% drivetrain loss that's still a 40RWHP gain.

This a quoted from the tuner's webpage,
* 5.4L V8s
**Package includes custom tune, air intake and cat-back exhaust.

So please, put all that in your pipe, smoke it, then

Anyways, back to the topic at hand...

A good tint will look great on your truck.
Take off the tail light 'guards' and tint the tails.
Chrome front bumper
Maybe a nice low profile tonneau cover.

If you want the PTM front bumper, I think the rear should match it then, or vice versa with the chrome.

 

Okay, so based off of my likes and your guys' opinions, heres my long to-do list:

Buy a brand-new chrome front bumper (current one has holes and for the price to mod and strip and paint, i can get a new one for a tad more)
PTM all 3 handles white (whole assy? can i find somewhere where i can get the smooth-painted ones like the XLT's instead of the bumpy-feeling XL's?)
Matching white hardtop tonneau ($$$)
Lightning-style heads (next mod, def!)
OEM-looking LED tails (after ^^^)
Recon 3rd LED brakelight (after ^^^)

MAYBE:

drop shackles in a year or two
different rims (like the HD's)
15% tint once my current starts to come off


any others?

 

Just get a black one.


- NCSU

 

TIRES! Get some BFG AT's or something that looks a bit tougher.

 

Different rims.

And painting the handles and mirrors would definitely make it look better.

 

How about these Headlights for your Truck?

 

Lift it and put some 35's on there.

 

Wheels,4 of them,and chrome front bumper.
