Default 2002 Slow F-150 Build!

Hello all! This will be a slow progressing thread on my 2002 F-150 Flareside Sport. It has a V6 paired with a 4-speed automatic. I am hoping to get some suggestions from you all so I can come up with some ideas on what to do to this thing.

Tried refreshing headlights with turtle wax and a rag but the result was not what I had hoped. Anyway, here's some of the "Mods" done to it so far... (note that the black ice air freshener is the biggest improvement so far )

Alrighty then... radio and amplifier turned off on the way home from school two days ago, got home and checked fuses and sure enough fuse 15 was blown. Quickly fixed it with another fuse and everything worked fine. Today when I was driving home both my radio and amplifier shut off yet again. Fuse blew once again so I will more than likely have to get a larger caliber fuse and swap it out. Also, anyone have suggestions for a bull-bar? I've been contemplating on buying one but im not sure on what to get. I would also like to put a couple of round fog lights in the grill. Suggestions would be excellent.

Another quick update... I swapped out the 15 fuse to a 20. I've been told to never go over 20 so hopefully this fixes the issue. If not, then ill have to run a direct wire in the cabin from the battery.

That's a cool stepside. Looks like the paint has held up well.
As far as mods, I can put in my $.02.

If you are thinking about dropping it, why add a bullbar? I think those two would go against each other.
With headlights, I would do smoked harley heads, those would fit right in with the color/look of the truck.

I would love to lower it as the render depicts, however I am not able to for financial reasons. Pretty much spitballing on what to do with it, I will say that the harley lights are an option ive been looking into for a while now. Its was repainted a couple of years ago, also thanks for the reply!

Picked up two exhaust tips at my local flea market for $15. I threw it on without any adjustments and it stuck out by quite a bit, so I grabbed my sawzall and clipped off about 3 inch of the exhaust and slid the tip on. Needless to say I think it looks good, however I am thinking about fabricating a side exhaust setup much like the prototype of the nascar edition F150.
