Chrome OEM or aftermarket wheels (20's)

OEM fender flares painted silver to match the two tone paint. That will give it a "Lariat" look.

Tow mirrors (OEM)

Painted door handle bezzels with chrome door handle (again a Lariat look that XLT's lack)

FX4/Raptor tail lights maybe?

It's gonna run me approx. 65 bucks for the fender/tailgate emblems, front/rear ovals, and the flex fuel badge. That ain't much at all. I also think a nice wheel/tire upgrade would look great on your truck. I understand about the lift as my dear Wifey is vertically challenged also, so maybe a set of wheels, and tires would do the trick for you. You could paint to match the door, and tail gate pulls if you like that look. IMHO, your truck is so clean looking you don't want to go so far that you mess it up.

Oh how I love helping others spend their money.........
[MENTION=60404]Wanted33[/MENTION] Thanks. That's cool. As much as I chat with [MENTION=28882]Moody Blue[/MENTION] I have not ordered anything yet. My truck is the Ohio State University colors so I'm going to have to have him make an Ohio State overlay. I saw some one with an Oregon on some where on this forum.

[MENTION=103504]jollyroger331[/MENTION] thanks. I didn't think of that one. I have added it to my list. Leveling will make it look a little taller? Cool

Just a few

1. MoodyBlue overlays!!!
2. PTM/chrome mirror caps and door handles (I prefer PTM)
3. New wheels and a little more rugged tires
4. OEM HID's look fantastic
5. BedRug!!!! If you're not hauling dirt on a daily basis, these are great. Brings a certain touch of refinement to the truck.
6. LED interior lights. Interior is pretty dark especially the back seat area.
7. OEM Platinum power boards, I'm not a fan of the tubular chrome steps
8. Chrome exhaust tip if you don't have one. It's a nice touch
9. Basic audio upgrades ($800 worth of better speakers and amp) I know you like to rock it out!
10. Hitch cover (still trying to find one I like.....)
11. Bed cover of some kind.
12. Paying off the truck, best mod you can do. Make it yours officially!!!

That should get you started and lighten your wallet enough. Good luck choosing!

Thanks for your input. Yeah I do want an exhaust mod that is for sure. I watched a video posted by Azuri so many times that I think I am in love with Borla and don't even have one...Ha ha. I guess I need to get on CL more often and look around for stuff.

Yes indeed I love Chrome. I'm going to have to look at some. I want new rims and tires but just don't know what size or kind yet. I have seen so many on this forum and it seems I like them all.

Would also compliment the two tone. They are easy to install and don't look cheesy. I did it on my 08 FX4 and loved it!
[MENTION=155585]Indyhead[/MENTION]
Okay thanks for your input. Do you have a picture of your truck to share?

Level it off too, and a nice aftermarket wheel in a silver or clean coated machined face, chrome is nice but you don't want to overdo it, right now it's the perfect amount.
[MENTION=162275]nbrowser[/MENTION]
Okay Thanks. I like the painted mirror look. That is something to think about. I'm going to have to look up the color wheel you mentioned. I had chrome ones in mind, but I do want something that is easy to clean and take care of too.

Okay thanks. I like these suggestions. I got to see what FX4/Raptor tails would look like on Race Red. Especially if I like the chrome look.
