That would do it.

Hate those ugly grey wheels and those bumpers will look like crap after a few trips offroad. Never understood why they put painted bumpers in a truck made to go offroad.
Personally, I love the design of the FX 20s, just wish they were offered in a 18 so I could have more sidewall. But I have Raptor 17s now and I really love the look of them. I love both chrome and PTM. Heck, my next pickup will probably be an FX4 but they aren't common at all around here and it gives me more options that I can't really do with chrome. The front bumper is going to be my biggest worry since I live on gravel roads They all look better than the other brands and I love all the different rim options Ford has. Can't say that about the other brands, they look more like glorified sedan rims...

And if you're able, take the steps off as it'll change the stance of it for the better.
Thx

I'll keep your idea in mind.

Again I like a little chrome, but if you guys want to see the most rediculous use of faux chrome in the business, look no further than here...........

2014+ GM 2500/3500 HD trucks, tacky, tacky, tacky .... Where is that barf icon again?

I am currently de-chroming but this thread may have convinced me to keep a just a little bit.. we'll see.

Its a good thing we all like different things, this world would be a very boring place otherwise!
