So I find this forum while having a question about a 2000 F150 I need to put a motor in. While exploring the different sub forums I started seeing pics of modified trucks and I really liked them. Being I have a 2007 F150 also, that was bought new and the new had worn off and I was seriously thinking about buying a new one, I decided to save money and fix mine up instead.
So, I've gotten started and still have a few more options to install, but here's an update.
2" front level kit
Red Dirt Road Wheels
Cooper Discoverer 285/70/17
Pin stripe removed
Detailed
Black low profile tool box
Before:
And now after:
I took the after pics in a parking lot with lots of glare so they aren't the best pics. However, you can see it looks like a different truck.

Isn't it amazing what adding a few things will do? And a bit of a cleanup. I was wondering if we'd get an update from you on this.
I think you should consider some smoked tail lights; can do it yourself for pretty cheap with nightshade; not sure what sort of aftermarkets are available.
I'd see about some rear wheel liners and an exhaust tip also.

Thanks. Definitely wanted to use this thread to ask more opinions. My ideas, or thoughts, black headlights, something with the exhaust cause the rusty color tip looks like crap, rear wheel liners? You mean fender flares?
I'd like to have black dual exhaust going out the back. Is that possible? I need a new ford emblem that goes on the front grille. Mine looks like crap now.
Always open for ideas, and I appreciate all of the ones so far.... so keep em coming!
I'd like to hope you can get rear wheel liners for your year; they keep crap out of the rear wheel wells. Like so:
I don't think I have a before photo.
I don't think you need fender flares, though I'd be interested in seeing a head shot down the side to see how far your wheels are out; if not really at all fender flares would look silly IMO.
I've contacted a couple of guys through the forum that do emblems; moody and pestyphil and I never got a paypal request from moody and pestyphil hasn't responded in a few days so I'm not sure if he's not able to do the grey and black request of if he's busy. pestyphil does vinyl overlays; can get them for your front and rear emblems, and steering wheel.
Truck looks awesome IMO the truck would look even better with some tinted taillights, black retrofit headlights, a dual exhaust or just a tip would make the truck look more aggressive, maybe change out the grille for an aftermarket one if you don't like the factory grille and factory fender flares. Also you could do some upgrades to the interior; new HU to replace the factory stereo, upgrade the door speakers with an amp to give you a better sound quality, maybe a subwoofer if your into having some bass, and change out the interior lights to led.
