Thanks for the info. That looks great BTW. My neighbor got a truck exactly like mine same color, except he one-upped me with the Platinum (Or two, since I have an XLT). He was just telling me he didn't care for the shiny tailgate. I tried to get to swap so I could get the tailgate step, but he declined.

I will be showing him these pictures.

Also, noticed you were covering your license plates in the pictures. You missed one (the first pic).

Haha Yea everyone's taste is definitely different.

I don't know what you're talking about

Ya I covered the plate for my IG post and then added the other one for the forum and forgot. Thanks for pointing that out. Just paranoid sometimes. Lol

Nice mod on the rear. I like it. The B pillars are just OK. Curious about how it will hold up.

Thanks. I like the pillars for now cause it hides the crap plastic finish and doesn't get messed up with fingerprints and what not. I did the carbon fiber to match the tailgate. You're right though, question is how long it will last.

Yeah, that tailgate treatment is the deal. I'm thinking Ford will soon be offering something like this as a standard or an option. Love the B pillars, too.
