Default Similar mods? Tow Mirrors with just leveling kit?

I have a 2006 F150 4x4 Lariat that I just got and I have a list of things I want. It already has a 2" leveling kit, exhaust and Procomp extreme A/T. Just curious if any one has pictures of their truck with similar mods?

1. Tow mirrors
2. Black grille ie. Saleen, billet, t-rex or anything really
3. Clear head lights
4. 2" wheel spacers
5. Off road antenna
6. Black rims

I ordered the tow mirrors and black grille already, so I'm pretty curious how the tow mirrors look on a truck that isn't lifted. Most trucks I see with tow mirrors are lifted more than just level. Thanks for any pictures.

What do you mean by "off-road antenna"?

What do you mean "cleared " ? Looks like you took out the side reflector.

It is just a shorter antenna, I like the way they look.

That's exactly what I did. I like the look of some of the headlights you can buy that are all clear or even the black background but figured I would try this first.

Just so you know, my son-in-law got a ticket for not having the amber reflector turn signal in a set of aftermarket headlights that I gave him, he had to put the old ones back in. Not sure where you are but I would check local laws. Cops here will use any excuse to stop you at 2:30 in the morning.

Thanks for the info, I did read that you might get in trouble some places. I'm not sure where we're going next so hopefully I'll get away with if for a while. It's weird they sell them if there not legal though huh.

It may not be illegal to sell, specifically if it states "for off road use only".

Most police officers these days do not have the time to pull over drivers for illegal equipment. However, it does give them legal permission to do so if they want.
