Default 05 F150 Ideas

Hey there, new to the forum.

Just bought an 05 F150 and I got all these ideas of what I want to do to my truck but I was wondering if anyone has any opinions or advice as to what I should do.

Planning for a leveling kit and aggressive tires (when snows gone and I can take my new winters off), chrome billet grille, bushwhacker fender flares, and possibly chrome door handles and mirror covers, and removing black bug deflector.

Do you think the chrome door handles and mirrors will look out of place with the silver paint and the black strip down the side of my truck?

Open for other thoughts and suggestions, but keep in mind im 19 and I dont exactly have a ton of money to throw into this since I am also saving for school.

Thanks

Doing the whole chrome thing will be cheesy. I did it to my rig and found I liked it alot better with just the chrome handles.

All chrome


Handles only

I think the chrome handles not the whole chrome pice like in the picture would look good and if you want chrome mirrors look for lincoln mark lt mirrors they are chrome on top half so they arent over doing the chrome plus they have blinkers in the mirror.

loose the pinstripe on the side and put a 285-70-17 on there with a level kit and that thing will look good

Warm it up with a hairdryer and carefully peel it off
