My new OWNED Toy, 08' XLT
Hello all again, figured since everyone lately is showing off their new toy, I'd show mine too
So long as the pics come out.
So far it is pretty well stock, just a touch of chrome for the handles and a tailgate assist gas shock, but I'd like to add the 2"spacers on the front, chrome skullcaps on the mirrors for now. Later down the road a CAI, exhaust and tune, although the stock setup runs quite well. Turns over the 18's with no problems. I say owned because my past 2 150's were leased, now I can drive the snot out of this one and not worry about miles! And do whatever I want to it.

Hi all, thanks for all the complements, as far as the door handles they are add on. I opted for the stainless versions, I was afraid of the reliability of the plastic ones. From what I have been seeing and hearing, the plastic ones are holding up just fine. As far as painting the black part, it is a great idea, you just have to see if it can be done with the type of plastic used. Some time ago a friend of mine wanted her mirrors on her 05 Mustang painted and she was told the paint would not adhere to the type of plastic used, that it would peel in no time. Maybe there is some type of prep that can be done now, along with sanding down the texture.
I love the color too (Dark Blue Pearl), I wasn't planning on buying, but with 15 grand knocked off, I could not pass it up. It was the only one left with the CHROME on it, and it was calling my name
