Yeah I've read I can get up to 16mpg or a superchips flashpaq tuner which won't give the mpg a chip would but boosts the horsepower and torque

Alright y'all u can see the color of my ford. I don't like the chrome on the front bumper. If it was black would it look weird? Just looking for opinions.

I think it would only look good with aftermarket bumpers.. I've seen two tones like yours with painted bumpers and it didn't look right.. That's why I'm getting bumpers for my truck eventually

Is there a way to take out the grills of these trucks? Because I want to paint mine to match the two tone on my truck!

Flares aren't gonna cover his tires so you would have to get a wheel with less backspacing. Here's mine. I have a fabtech 6 in and my wheels have a 4.5 in backspacing. I'm gonna get fender flares for mine later this year. The pic doesn't show how much they stick out very well but it gives you an idea
