Default Before and After

It's been a while since I've posted any pics of my '06 F150 Tuscany FTX so I thought I would do a before and after photo-shoot since I've made a few changes to the truck. I'm not finished modding by a longshot and still have a few plans in the works. I've got to say I'm definitely more pleased with the overall look of the truck as it is now but am considering a new grill, tow mirrors, and possibly a 6" lift and 35's down the road since this truck only has a little over 11,000 miles on it.

To start, here's how the truck looked when I first brought it home.

Yeah. I originally smoked the factory tails and severely messed them up. So much that I had to throw them away. I'm not a huge fan of the euros and am currently looking for another set of OEM tails to smoke again.

I have plans to do away with all of the chrome. I'm nervous about the handle covers though because I've heard horror stories about the double-sided tape messing up the factory black handles. Any suggestions for removing them safely?

Not sure, I have seen quite a few threads about removing them and most were not horror stories. I think I read somewhere if you heat them up then you can remove them fairly easy. You could always use fishing line to remove them too.

It's an APM Ram Air Hood. I installed the Ram Air Intake shortly after getting the truck so it is now fully functional and forces air down into the engine. Here are a few pics.
