2010 Red Candy Metallic Tinted F-150

Wondering if anybody knows where to buy aftermarket parts such as mirror and door bezels for my new baby. Just purchased a new F-150 (XLT) 2010 S-Crew. I just want add a few additional items.

Any information would be great.

It's not my truck anymore, but I had the Mirrors, Handles and lower valance all PTM. Cost me $500 for everything and came out flawless. I still have pic's on my profile.

Painted To Match. The handles/outer shell, mirrors, etc. are painted to match the color of the truck. It makes such a cleaner look than either the black or the solid chrome like some people do.

Thanks so much. I'm surprised I didn't pick that term up because I work in the paint industry and supply bumper paint for Honda in Indiana. So I have many technical terms for paint but never heard that one. Thanks for the info and will look into this.

I just went take a look at what your truck looks like. That's exactly how mine had looked off the dealer lot except an 07'. This is just my opinion so you can feel free to do what you want b/c it is "your truck". I would paint the outer shell around the door handles and tailgate. Also at least paint the mirror top half like the FX4's are painted. I had the chrome top from the factory so I painted everything that was black. For some people it's to much. Then I'd tint the windows. If you don't want to go dark at least tint the front sides to match the rear. The factory tails would look better with some aftermarket smoked ones or buy smoked covers. Maybe you can remove the chrome on the factory ones and smoke them, but I'm not sure how those work. Also smoke out the 3rd brake light. A 2" leveling kit will also help. Later on you can go with a more aggressive tire or get aftermarket rims/tires. I'm not sure how much you want to spend, but if you stay on here long enough you will put a decent amount of money into mods.

High on 22's

Great feedback. I really want to change those door covers etc. I had a 3 inch body lift on my 2001 but over the years it started to get to be a pretty bumpy ride. I would think the 2 inch level would really make the front end look better than stock.

Thanks for the feedback and I will review this and see how the cash flow is.
