Default Show me your green gem!!!

I bought a 2014 302A green gem XLT so far it's stock and boring looking for some exterior ideas rims and tires aren't being bought til the spring. I wanted to paint match the grill and bumpers to give it the fx4 look it will make it one of a kind. Maybe even paint the f150 inlays red. Has anyone paint matched the bumpers I've seen the grill paint matched but I'd like to see bumpers done. But give me some ideas!

Contact Steve@Tasca Auto Group for a price on HD headlights and tail lights, I put them on my truck and it made a huge difference. Tasca Auto Group gives us outstanding pricing with super sweet shipping rates.

check out some of my pics in my album, i have painted bumpers here but i'm unsure about putting them on, I wish i had purchased an fx4, but ford does not make the fx4 in the green gem, couldn't even special order it, so I'm turning my xlt into my own version of one

Ya basically I'm making my own fx4. Smoked tail lights and turn signals in the side mirrors. Also adding a recon scanning strip under the tailgate and 20% tint the windows. Then I'm getting a borla s type exhaust and thermal coat the exhaust tips black. Too bad I can't afford to do it all at once.

Mines been a year and still going, It all takes time, started with a level kit first, then tint, then it was fx4 headlights and tails, then when I decided on rims those where next, and so on. Wife wasn't to happy everytime the UPS guy showed up to the door.

Lol, are rims are very similar. HID make a huge difference. I had them in my other truck and when I got this I couldn't stand the halogen lights.

Looks sick man rims and tires are awesome too. Been surfing around stage3motorsports don't know how it's possible to not spend thousands on their site all the stuff is awesome. But I'm definitely looking into buying the borla s type within the next week or so then thermal coating the tips black. That will be the start of the snowball of stuff I will be buying.
