How would this look?

I was thinking of getting a Roush lower chin spoiler


the saleen rocker panels and doing a true dual set up and using the saleen exhaust exits


and some sort of roll pan and rear rockers (behind the tire) but I dont know what would look good back there. I could use help on that!

Given this will go on a two tone Lariat (black and gold) and was planning on painting all the new parts gold to match the bottom of the truck. Rims I was thinking Saleens powder coated black or HD 22" with the black accents, I'm not for sure on that yet. Any input would be much appricated

That would look good. But if it were me I would save some money and have the bottom painted so you are all one color......Just my opinion..

I like the spoiler and the skirts, but I hate side exhaust exits, but I'm not a loud exhaust guy.

Also you need more pix in your profile. The one body shot looks more silver than gold.

But since you say it's gold, I say you should powder coat your wheels gold to match the whole bottom, unless you want to do the mono-black thing (which I totally understand).

I don't like the skirts but like the roush chin. I have one, and the 3dcarbon skirt kit, which I do like. I just need to get it painted and install it. I don't have cutouts in the rear though, going for a bumper dump.

Yea that one pic was almost right after I bought the truck and went camping which makes the color look off. Truck looks horrible in that pic lol. I like the HD rims like Stealth has as they are black with chrome and thought of maybe powdercoating some rims almost like that but the saleens.

Yea I go back and forth on going single color all the time. I like the dual look now and again and sometimes I wish it was just black!

I like where your headed, I like the all black idea. I put a street scene roll pan on my truck. I think I'd go with black wheels, 24" at least, with a chrome/stainless rim, and lower it, maybe 3/5. That would look good.

See that looks sexy I think. I want to do the exhaust out the side though so it would be pretty close to that but gold/black... ony thing I cant really figure out at this point is what do I use after the tire for skirts and what roll pan would flow well with the the set up. Also, on the side skirts, I notice on yours and the saleen the bottom part is grey. Did you paint it grey or did you just leave that alone and painted the rest.

1Sickf150 has a rollpan on his, or you could use the Roush bumper cover. I used the Street scenes rear skirt pcs. I got the idea from 1sickf150. The saleen rocker extensions come unpainted, and I left the lower part unpainted. I figure it would just get all chipped and pitted. MA. roads are like groomed trails. These are the street scene pcs. see my albums for related pics.

That is a badass truck man. It'll look even better with the 08 HD rims. Those are exactly the ones I want to get and use my stock Lariat lug nut covers as they match the lower gold. I think itll look good.

Thanks, you could probally save a couple buck getting the wheels without the centercaps too. But it wouldnt be a bad idea to have them incase you change your mind or decide to sell them later. I should be putting them on by wednesday, I got the tires mounted, but the lugs are comming by pony express from Texas. They tell me I should have them by tues. I removed the pinstripes and 4x4 stickers yesterday. Once I get the rims on I'll take some more photos to update my albums. A couple things I like about the Saleen rockers is the vent pcs. match the ones in my hood, and are not far off from the stock upper and Roush lower grille. They also cover all that exposed frame giving a much lower appearance. Be prepared to drill holes though. 15 of them in each rocker on the screw.
