Default Any suggestions?

So guys, I've had this truck for close to a year now and I've done most of the stuff I've wanted to do to it. So my question to you guys is. Do you have any suggestions? Any ideas on what I could do?

Nice looking truck! I would ditch the ebay/euro/led headlights and leave the bug deflector off. Go with a nice set of black housing oem look headlights. Also you have a small light bar for added light, but tinted fogs, hmmm. I would add normal housing fogs. Looks like the top bumper pad needs paint as well. The wheels/tires, boards etc all look great with black and chrome theme you have.

One question, is that an OEM grille surround with the grille insert added by you? I love that insert.

I'll have to get a updated picture, but I took off the boards and the bug deflector. The top picture is the most recent. Also, the fogs aren't tinted. It must just be the lighting. And id like some more information on those headlights you suggested?

It's a insert I bought off of eBay, I cut out the old honeycomb grille and then put this one in and drilled holes and bolted the insert in using "L" brackets. It's actually very easy and doesn't take long at all!

Got some questions first you guys.

1st. When I was removing my bug shield, there's a strip where it rubbed the paint down to bare medal. What's the best way to go over that?

2nd. I'm looking into some new taillights and a third break light. Any recommendations?

And finally, what's the best bulbs to use to replace the stock fog lights?

Well I recommend Nokya Hyper Yellow fog bulbs. I just bought a pair of Morimoto fogs, but they dont make those in your style.
