How about throwing one of these in the open space on the far right of the other emblems? It sure would be confusing to a lot of the tree huggers. I'm thinking about getting one for the rear of my Lightning just for the fun of it. The emblems would look factory over our paint color.

You could always trade tailgates with me, mines got a nice little design on the bottom of it courtesy of a boat trailer. Doesn't really work for me but you may like it...

I agree with IDNC76..

How much chrome do you have on the rest of the truck? How about a chrome, or PTM tailgate handle? Tinted tailights are a good way to go as well.

LED third brake light definitly. Either a tinted one or just all red (with the exception of the cargo lights obviously). I bought mine off Ebay for like $30 and love it. Other than that just tails. Clean and simple isnt always a bad thing.

get your tails professionally sprayed and either paint or get overlays for your emblems (patriotdecals.com) and as for exhaust, im not fond of rear exits due to it looks dumb on my body (2000) IMO but on yours, one like darrens is cool but id do 3.5 to 4" tips that arent rolled.....and PTM tailgate handle....thats my .02

I like a clean look too. I have my exhaust like Darren's, LED tails and 3rd, LED lic. plate lights, smoked plate cover, and a plain black rubber receiver hitch cover. I would like to get a diff cover one of these days like this one

A mural on the tail gate would be cool....

Nothing crazy just something subtle...

On my 86 GT there's a Chevy Bow Tie chasing a Mustang on the lip of the Saleen Whale Tail...

I can post pics if you like...

For my 150 once the lift is complete I've thought about doing a Hulk holding up the Ford Oval in the center... Dibs please don't steal my idea...
It would fit the theme I'm after...

I know my sig is huge... Going to fix it when I figure out how.



AirAid modular intake tube, K&N filter, Magnaflow Exhaust, Line-X'd bed and fender wells, 2.5 Inch AS Level Kit and 3 inch AS Rear Block, 1 Mile range Viper 5900 SST remote start and alarm system, JL Audio Stealthbox, JL Audio 500/1, JL Audio 300/4, Alpine Type-R 6.5 inch components in front doors, Alpine Type-R 5x7's in rear doors, Alpine Iva-w505, LOTS of Dynamat, 15% Tinted windows, Billet Grills in factory H-bar and lower bumper.
