Some more "Anti-Bling" mods for my truck for a stealthier look

Washed the truck and put on 2 more smoothed plastic pieces. Did the tailgate handle and antenna base cap last week, pics in this album

and did the endcaps today. WOW are they sweet! RobG's work is nothign short of amazing!!! here's some pics

What a major PITA to get the stock caps off! I tried to save them and squeese the tabs to remove them, but got tired of screwing around and just cut the tabs off the back. a MILLION times easier this way, and probably safer too...less chance of scratching truck.
Had to take the tailgate off too to get the retaining clip off the endcaps. 1st time i took it off, but i'll probably do it quite often now cuz its so easy and i found some more areas to zaino. LoL!

 

Trying to get those steps out is a PITA and i scratched the tape up in quite a few spots...definately saved my paint!


No endcaps....they used enough clips to hold those things in! 6 friggin huge tabs! I had to cut the new tabs down quite a bit so they would pop in easier, but they are still super snug on there.


Now thats what i'm talking about!

 

Anybody got that pic of the Street Scenes steps? this pic is at almost the same angle, and you can definaetly see the difference in the fit between the smoothed OEM ones and the SS ones.



i like looking at pics of my truck...can ya tell? LoL!

 

last pic, but a cool one....check out that reflection! LoL



so, what do you guys think?

these should get here by the end of this week




o yeah.....smoothed rear bumper cap is coming eventually the side steps go on, so everythign will match

 

They totally suck!!!! J/K

They look awsome!!!! Great Job

 

They look great! We like looking at pics of your truck, too, it is a beautiful truck!

 

very nice, i love the solid paint look on vehicles, i hate hate hate chrome and plastic.

 

looks GREAT man!

 

That looks great Josh, now you've got me wanting to do the same thing, yUo biG siLLy

Rollpan time

 

Those pieces look great, where did you get them, are they already painted?

 

Got the stuff from the king of bling himself.....RobG
came painted and buffed and everything! stuff is flawless

thanks for the compliments guys! i'll have more pics as the pieces come in.


still debating on a rollpan. I kinda like the stock bumper on the flaresides, so i will probably just get the rear bumper cap smoothed and painted also. If i had a screw it would definately be a rollpan, but on the flareside i like the stock bumper

 

Nothing like a clean black ford truck! Lookin sweet !
