Lookin' Good! Maybe you should also do the rear bumper pad and valance to match up with the black. I'm hesitant on doing this; sometimes this molding helps avoiding a door dent.

im contemplating whether to Krylon fusion the bottom front bumper valance, and leave the chrome. anybody know? should i sand first? i want it to look legit, so i might pay the extra and get it powdercoated, along with the rear bumper.

well i did the front bumper valance. turned out real nice. ill tell ya, taking it off and putting it back wasnt the best. theres a about 12 screws and washers. my plan though is to get a nice lightning or HD bumper/valance with a grille insert, but it looks legit and flows real nice for the mean time.

Looks great.

Do the door molding just pop or peel off?
My door moldings are scratched real bad on the pass side due to a shopping car...

they peel off. i would suggest using a heat gun if you have one, set it at 850 degrees and move it along the adhesive, not letting the gun sit on one spot for more than a second. i also used 3M adhesive remover; did wonders. but prepared to have sore thumbs at the end of the project

True. I do have 3.73 LSD. If there is ever a good north east f150 meet maybe we'll both attend and find out
