My newest mods.....

Painted my Calipers Blue yesterday. Changed out my back brakes with Wagner TQ Pads and rotated my tires. Figured what the heck.


Add a roush hood scoop a few weeks ago.



Latest pic of my truck. I never thought I'd be saying this but, Im seriously thinking of removing my FX4 stickers on the truck. What do you guys think? I think it would look much cleaner?

Whats up! let me start out by saying you got a nice truck and I love the hood scoop!

I just got CS4 photoshop last night so im not that great with it yet but I wanted to see what I could do its a hard color blue to match but I got it somewhat.

I found that if you look as a whole you can get the idea lol its not that bad. But if I were you id peal those fx4 stickers off as fast as I could!



hope this helps!

You could always have the stickers redone at a vinyl print shop. Something like this to match the blue of your truck with so they don't stand out so much. If you need high res art just let me know.

Thanks guys for the feed back and kind words! Much apperciated!

I cant make up my mind yet, but thinking the FX4 stickers may need to go.

Yeah I like the hood scoop it took me a whle to get use to. We have a lot of F150s were I live but havnt any with a rouch hood scoop.
Im also thinking of buying the silver insert for the scoop.

I'll have to do some research on the stealth turn signal bulbs not sure ive seen them. Ive always used the Silverstar bulbs.

I'll probably get some frowns on this but seriousy thinking of putting (2) 10" stripes down the middle of the truck. Silver

I am a firm believer in doing what you wish, but those stripes are gonna cost you. Why dont you think about having the flares PTM, doing some harley heads and tinting your fog lights?

LOL! Strikeswiftly I see your putting that CS4 photoshop to good use! hehehe

I had a set of Harley lights but they just didnt look right with all the chrome. I really wanted to keep them too. I never thought about PTM on the flares would have to do some thinking on that. I had my door handles PTM and really liked them when I changed out the handles.

I went to a local shop and suppose to be the best in my area for the Vinal stripes I know for 6"-7" stripes was $295 and then up to 12" was $450.09 I think. I have the prices wrote down at work. I just dont think it will look right unless there atleast 10"s wide. My wifes mustang has 10" stripes on her car. The truck being much bigger would need the same 10" atleast I would think to look right. Im not sure I can go with 12" stripes with the scoop. I'll have to re measure. I dont mind spending $300.00 but dont like the $500.00 plus range.

What do you guys think of those 1/2 chrome mirror covers and would look on my truck? I think it would look good but hate the chrome stick on stuff. All my other chrome stuff is actually parts I have now.

Oh and looks like 50/50 so far on the FX4 removal from the replys above.


Thanks Again Everyone!!

lol F150 ive done painted ur truck green, black, purple lol I love the program I just can't copy and paste stuff worth a shiz yet.

Ne wayz IMO I don't like the stripes idea thats just my opinion though. I say paint the fender flares and leave it alone the more I look at ur truck with those flares painted the better and better it gets. Usually its the other way around..



lol wat the heck! I did the mirror caps too.

I really like it.
