Default Truck Needs Some MoJo

What can I do to my 2016 King Ranch to give it some life and reduce the grandpa appeal?
After driving F350's for so long, I really love this truck, but it just needs something.
Thinking about painting rotors and calipers and tinting the windows. Don't really want to hit the mileage with big tires, but maybe a level kit?
What do you think?

To be honest...that's a damn good looking truck as is. You could always put a racing stripe down the middle?

Grandpa appeal???


A lot of us older drivers, me included, think a "grandpa appeal" truck looks like this one, not a KR like you have.....!

Grandpa appeal ?? I don't think so. That truck simply says, "I have class. Just look at MY truck" !!!! Leave it alone !!!!!

2" auto spring lift front and rear. 33" KO2 tires and wheel spacers. I love the look that gives.

painting the calipers make a subtle but great visual upgrade.
tinting the windows might get you pulled over so Im against it.
how about de chroming it ?
you could do other aesthetic changes such as an aftermarket grill or aftermarket headlights.
you could get an aggressive exhaust- that will misspell the grandfather myth.
basically- you are only limited by your budget.
