Sorry man already beat you to it, except mine is paint and not plasti-dip so it won't peel off.
I have everything from the emblems to the Recon LED tails to the exhaust tips... all custom work done professionaly PTM.
My tailgate oval is flat black with gloss Ford lettering and outline....
But you're truck is Blue so rock on!

Well... that should do it. I really LOVE the way it came out and so far, it seems pretty durable. Time will tell.
A few more random pictures:
I have gotten so many compliments from people and MANY head turns on the road. So pleased.
Fonzy did it and it cost just over $300.
Lastly, look back up... I also had him paint the tail pipes black too. High heat paint NOT Plasti-Dip of course.
Next is to black out the rest of the chrome - just the emblems are left. My plan is to paint the inside of the F-150 from the existing black to blue to match the truck and plasti-dip the chrome emblems to a "Smoke" color to match the FX2 wheels.
In the next few weeks, I'll be installing my Bilsteins all around to lift/level the front.
Lastly, in a few months, Terras all around too (305-55-20s).
Then - I think I'm done?

LOL... naaa... my ears are shot from the "Sex, drugs and rock and roll" from the 70s. The sound system is perfect for me right now but - you're probably right. I'm sure I'll find something to mod... just don't know what yet.

^^ Are either of you running the factory Sony system with tweeters and sub? I think it has excellent sound quality and you can create a great mix from the audio settings. And yea like KBS mentioned... I'm 24 and it gets plenty loud for me!
