Default before and after 04 FX4 Scab

I bought this truck on the 22nd of last month and so far it has been great mechanically wise and was able to purchase an extended drive train warranty for 2 yrs. Some things I don't like so far are the crappy wiper cowl which they said was fixed after pointing it out to them on the lot and seeing it fixed only to have it pop up again and the passenger front door rattling on bumps. I have an appt tmrw with the body shop to get some chips fixed in the windshield(dealer is paying for it) and while its their I am going to see if they can at least point me towards a solution for it. Bumper cushions are good and back door is shut good. Sounds like its in the front door by the handle or speaker grille. Other than that, I'm good. Future mods are to get some 295/70/18s and I'm thinking about the saleen grille but don't know how much of a pain it is to install. I am also going to coat the bed caps but waiting till it gets a bit warmer. As of now I have put XD Cranks 18x9s, super 10 with 45s, daystar 2.5 level(it had a 2" but my buddy had a 2.5 laying around) nfab steps and a pioneer screen in. Here's how it was when I bought it

And now today
