Wanted to introduce myself and my new to me truck
Sold my 2009 BMW 528xi M and got myself a 2006 F150 Lariat Super Cab 5.4L. Black on tan. BMW was very pretty and comfortable and loaded but I needed a pick-up for it's utility. It's a huge change for me but I love it.
Here's what I did so far: replaced factory carpet mats with Weather Techs front and rear, put on a hard Leer cover and Bed Rug liner. I tinted the front windows to maximul legal limit in MA 35%. Replaced worn out Bridgestones with Nitto Crossteks and replaced front and rear pads and rotors today. I also just Plasti Dipped the front and rear emblems, no pictures yet as they are drying.
You will notice the side and rear "LOBO" badges
. The previous owner had a GC working for him who was Mexican, and these trucks are called Lobo in Mexico, so as a gift, he put those on. I kinda like them and will keep them 
Here's the pic of the old ride:

Wow, I am just noticing the difference in the tint. BMW was 35% all around but because of white exterior and black interior it lookks so much darker. Ford is black with light interior and 35% fronts look barely tinted
