Can I have your opinion?

Honestly what I did for my old 04 was to paint to match all handles and mirror covers on the vehicle. It looks really nice and I Always enjoy the body matching as much as possible. Plus it gives it that 2010 look which has always been more "classy" in my opinion, I guess haha. I think awhile back a user and I were talking about two toning the handles to create that body with lower rocker panel look for something unique and interesting, but not really sure how well that would look or come out. Like paint the black plastic molding the body color of the truck and the physical handles the secondary color, not really sure. Also leave your headlights and tail lights alone unless you sponge the money for a true projector retrofit. I hate the look of halos on a truck because of the "ricerish" look that some of them tend to put off. Overall though the stance of the truck and look isn't that far off from finished in my opinion. I've always preferred electrical upgrades more than appearance because they don't really do anything other than look pretty.

thanks everyone! does anybody know how much it costs to paint match the handles? as well as the grill frame? and since the handles are just chrome covers, would they look better as chrome or black, because I can take the covers off and make them black for free!
unfortunately i think i have to keep my old f150 badges because my truck is a 2004 so i think the tape on those is pretty baked onto my paint if I replaced them with new badges you would see tape residue or paint fade
I did take the step bars off already though..
Thanks again guys

Your truck does look great BUT I would recommend blacking out the tan at the bottom and seeing how you like it. I have the same color scheme of the blue/tan but blacked out the tan. It ended up being one of my favorite things I've done to my truck. Just use Plasti Dip and if you don't like it, you can always take it off. Great truck though!
