My coworkers husband is a painter at Lexus. I ordered the factory primed ones from fairway ford on eBay and he shot them for me. Dead match. Next is a stx grill.

So do these replace what is there, or go over? Wonder if I can get them for tow mirrors.
I got my Bull Rings today along my chrome tailgate inlays. It was sprinkling when I was removing the front license plate holder and the bull rings, so will wait for a dry day to install the tailgate inlays.
I only installed the bull rings on the back of the bed, not the front. I can't think of why I would need them on the front. Any thoughts on uses for bull rings on the front?
Waiting for a dry day to install these
A beautiful day in the mountains today and was able to get the tailgate inlays installed. I really like the additional chrome with the chrome bumper. Also no longer have the temp tab on the license plate.
Black out marches on. I found F150 OEM take off wheels on Craigslist for $80 with no flaws and had them powder coated in satin black. I have my 2000 mile OEM STX 20" wheels on Craigslist, to put a dent into my overall investment. Installed Raptor center caps, at least that's how they were advertised. Regardless, bought them because the black finish of the caps pretty much matches the finish on the wheels. The close up wheel photo doesn't do it justice. I will be installing Gorilla black acorn nuts in the near future. I have them, just waiting for my click wrench to arrive. No hurry as the silver cap inset and the nuts don't look too bad together. I have finished the PTM mirror covers, just haven't installed them yet. Looking for a black (smoke) third brake light.

Where did you get your rear tow hooks? Got a link?
Where did you get your rear tow hooks? Got a link?
OEM hooks, like the front ones. Got them off eBay. The dogbone nutplate was included and I then purchased a set of bolts (Grainger: 6AE33) and a few washers to straddle the crossmember of the tow hitch on either side of the receiver. These are coarse thread bolts, and they are snug in the dogbone. Hook on bottom, dogbone on top, bolts long enough to span the height of the crossmember and thread into the dogbone. I don't use the hooks to assist in securing a load or pulling. I use them as steps for leaning into the bed. That plastic covering in the license plate well was cheesy on my previous gens, and the current gen feels no more robust. So, I refrain from standing on that cover. I also like the look.
