Huh, the new format won't allow me to edit the text, should read wrapped the bumpers, dipped the emblems and covered the mirrors and door handles.

Thinking bout just making the emblem black. I like the metal mesh part and the more bluntness of it compared to the original. So many decisions... It's fun tho, was getting board with the last whip.

Thanks. Yeah I wish at least the running boards were black. Chrome everywhere! I'd like to eventually have sliders for high lift jack points, but down the road.

Chrome queen lol. Nice whip, looks so much better. I love that color. It was white or that for me.

Hahaha! "full d bag" with the front grille... I like your sense of humor, sir. Well played!

I too have a chrome-bumpered truck, but installed a 5-bar Sport grille. I've left the bumpers alone for now. I don't know what to do next. I'd rather spend the dough elsewhere...

It reminds me of the grille with a star on it which always seemed a little douchy to me. But I guess I secretly liked it haha.

​​​​​​​Where's that at btw? Truck looks sharp.

About 20 minutes north of Palm Desert. We were out there doin' a lil' plinkin'. That was on the way in, but past the point where some shooters have absolutely trashed the area.

Thanks for the compliment. Truck had the chrome XLT grille on it, but I didn't care for the nostrils in it. It was either this one, or a 3-bar Lariat. This one came along at the right price from someone here on the F150forum.

Oh cool right on. Sucks when people do that sh*t. Have a cool spot near us called Sycamore Creek that we shoot at that gets that way. I don't understand what is so hard about picking up after yourself... annoying.
