Maybe I'm reading this wrong but I thought the SP-515 was the Double Platinum plug. I ordered 507's and it says they're double platinum.

515's are double platinum iirc. I can't find my invoice from Ford at the moment, but they used them in mine when I had mine changed in December



Guys I've been thinking. Ok You guys know my truck is arizona beige. I have a rough grille, Gonna have brand new mirrors with redone PTM caps, and it has chrome bumpers with no fogs. Now I plan on HD tails and adding a Fog bumper. I was gonna do PTM but what do you guys think of this. I plan on doing the Roush lower Valence because I like the look of it and it will go with my grille and the Roush 20s that I will be putting on in June or so. I think the PTM bumper would look good, but it is a lot more moeny to have painted and if I did chrome I buy it once and it's done and the chrome from my wheels, grille and LT handles and tips would match nicely. The Chrome bumper would be the only chrome. I would still switch the rear and Roush valence to PTM arizona beige. What do you think?

I think PTM is the way to go. Might cost a little more but IMO it looks better. If you do go that route though, get one of those clear bras for the bumper to save it from rock chips, that's the biggest complaint I have with mine.

I don't do that. I just walk up and fire one off.


Damn, don't scare me like that. I was having flashbacks to my 05 being stolen.

Actually, I think it's been missing for awhile.

You can't have just the front bumper chrome. PTM.

Really? I never noticed. Maybe your body style pulls it off better. To me it just seems a little bit left out of place, like the person didn't want to finish what they started.

Now I'll think your truck's weird every time I look at it.

Don't forget, I have a balance of chrome on the truck. The entire front end it PTM except the grille and bumper right now. The chrome fog bumper might be just enough to make my Roush 20s pop.

I can't decide and yes if I do PTM Matt I know for sure I will be doing the guard. Also I am taking off the bug deflector and putting the clear over the hood to protect it

There's only one other guy in town with the same configuration.

And he's still rockin' the 18" FX4 wheels.

Some people just have the right touch when modding a truck.....others don't.....

Speaking of bumpers....mines really showing the chips this year......might have to get it repainted...
