If you are dead set on more light then a retrofit is your best bet.

you could order the clear covers and tint them yourself that was my other idea.

i think they're great and really thick for added protection. Only place i could find them was eBay, but they are a very snug fit. http://m.ebay.com/itm/301172242590?nav=SEARCH incase you wanted to see. Wish they sold a solid 1 piece but it makes sense why not

A big *** bar across the roof won't be subtle no matter what kind of cover you've got on it lol put some 7" rounds LED lights behind the grille where they won't be seen until they're on. Then retrofit your headlights and run the round LED fog lights from the retrofit source that are meant to fit you're bumper.

Platinum tailgates are super expensive. But if I were to put the superduty tailgate I would have to have the superduty lettering cut out and have a smooth piece put in. But on your truck I wouldn't paint the bottom gray I would just do the front and back bumpers all gray and the fender flares it would look similar to an 08 fx4 superduty. Or go all solid white because if you do the center section of the tailgate black its going to look so busy with all the different colors.

They make smoked covers and pretty much every color and they're all transparent.

where from? Because I'm almost 100% positive they dont for 50" curved. And before anyone says it, Rigid Industries does sell every color of the rainbow covers but they only fit on a RI light bar, they're different then the standards from what I've been told and after seeing a rigid light bar in person.
