I've decided to start a build thread for my new truck. It's a 2013 Platinum with an ecoboost engine. I've always tried to make all the other vehicles I've owned (all fords) one of a kind. This one will be no different.
I haven't done a whole lot of modifications yet but I'll post some pics of what I've done so far and update as time goes on.

The day my new truck got delivered to my work... November 2,2012

First mod was to remove all the dealer stickers and the 4x4 decals on the box sides....

I wanted more power, so I installed a Livernois Motorsports tuner. Best thing I've done so far!!

Also swapped out the stock tail lights for a set of black FX4 tail lights.

I really love those Platinum letters. I think they should start coming on the Platinums instead of the badge on the pimp panel.

Looks great. Especially the platinum letters on the sides, you get those from the dealer?
