Looking for a truck makeover
Have had my 2000 f150 for about 5 years now. Been a great truck for me, was thinking of buying new but this one still works so I figured I would spend a little money making this one nice. First thing I wanna do is new lights, mine are pretty foggy and glazed. My truck is black, I really like the new darker lights you can get but I definitely don't want the completely black covers. Any ideas on headlights would be appreciated.
I also am looking into grills, wondering which style you guys all found the best looking on the black f150s, just the straight chrome, black, chrome hex with ford emblem still there? What do you think.
Any other ideas would be appreciated, let me know what you guys think would help!

black harley heads
center caps (or aftermarket rims)
paint the grille gloss black
I'd remove the bug deflector or go with a different style one
I'd invest in mechanicals a bit
nice truck!

I had a 2000, put a 2001 Lightning grill on it, loved it.
Agree with the Harley heads and corners, don't get the Lightning heads the Harley's have the orange strip and match better with the corners.

Yeah I definitely agree with both of you on the center caps, the guy before bought 03 wheels for it and had to use his 2000 lugs so the caps didn't fit, I have them but can't find a way to make it fit, my lucks are 13mm I think and the caps fit 15.
Thanks for the suggestions!!

the boat runs great, that's more of my baby than my truck, it's a 94 Ranger 397V. I am 24 and lost my dad in 2011 to a heart attack. I inherited it from him. He loved that boat so much and took great care of it. He had a 2000 Chevy Tahoe and I had a 2000 F150, both with about 160,000 at the time, was a tough decision, but I loved my truck and chose to keep my F150. I will go through a few trucks before I get rid of that boat if I have anything to do with it.
