Thanks Flatlander.
Man,all this attention over my truck,I could get used to this I have noticed
people stare a little longer when I go by now,hehehe. I wish it would quit raining every day at 2 o'clock,so I could get finished cleaning it up for this weekend. Seems like it rains just long enough to get water spots all over it,then quits. Well,that's what I get for living in a semi-tropical region.,,,,,98
Later guys

Thanks again guys.
Revlimit,The whole front of my truck came in chrome. I slowly bought pieces and had them painted to match. The bumper came from an aftermarket dealer(bodyshop supplier) It is a cheaper copy of the Ford piece,with no trim like the STX. It was about $143,plus about $120 to paint it. The airdam came from Stillen,and was $180,plus $85 to paint it. The bumper grill is a Steel Horse(same as the Main grill) and was about $60 or so. The lights are Autozone cheapies,about $50 a pair. (Pilot PL-240's) I spent more on it than if I had just bought a bumper cover,but I wanted that "custom but stock" look Whatever that means,lol,,,,,98

No Regular Cab
Ya it is sweet, and the chicks dig it too, Ya I still have the boat but have been to busy to use it much. I hope to take the boat out for a ride sat, and then I am heading to the Nascar race Sunday. If you watch the race look for me just past the start finish line.

Hey BlckF150!
Thank you! I never did get it although it's been in the back of my mind. Still trying to wait til my fiance gets her car,and then she won't care too much about what I do suspension wise. I am hoping to lower it when that happens,not sure if I'll end up with the stock springs,,,,,98

Hi Screamer, you have mail! Great job on your truck. Enjoy the Heat Wave and the Texas Chapter, they are a great bunch of guys and girls! I went to the Heat Wave last year and will be going to the Fun Ford Weekend event near Dallas this October.
A heads up on the Active Suspension if you will lower your truck later. There isn't enough spring angle with a 2x4 drop to install the unit. At least that is what they told me when I was gathering info on the unit for an install on my truck. I went with Cal Tracs which completely cured my launch problem. With the Cal Tracs and the Auburn Pro, she launches like a Beast!
Keep up the good work. I might have to "steal" your Ford badge idea! Looks great!
