Default A few more pics of my paint work

Here are the tinted orange reflectors and my Lariat grille color matched to truck. I have bumpers that are painted now too and I'm installing them tomorrow. Hope you like what you see!

I didn't need the offroad shocks and skid plates. After adding the luxury pkg and other options to the fx4 it was only around $1500-$2000 to just get the Lariat and have it all plus I liked the cooled seats. Since I do this stuff for a living it was easy and cheap for me to do and now I have a truck like no one else.

True that man. Looks good anyway. Just need some darker headlights, taillights, and wheels to finish it off

Those orange reflectors are so lame, Ford take notice.

Thanks. Check out my other paint work thread I put up, my tail lights are done too. I will change out the headlights eventually for black housing ones. I'm getting 20" or 22" rims after the winter, and have winter tires for my stock rims.

He would still have to paint the grill and either paint or replace the ugly orange reflectors. I have a black FX4 and had to paint my grille black.... Yes, I know it was already black, but it was that stupid dull plastic black that looks gray in comparison to shiny black paint.

With tow mirrors you don't have a large orange reflector. just a small 6 led strip which I'm cool with.

How are painting the bumpers? Paint of powdercoating? If powdercoating, where they able to exact color match the paint? Thinking of doing the same thing.

I had an extra set of chrome bumpers at my shop. I sand blasted them and then epoxy primed them inside and out, sealed them in black sealer and based/cleared them. The insides were gravel guarded and cleared over as well. They are better than factory now and match perfectly. I'll get pics up tomorrow.
