And second, I can't find the AMP power boards for a good price. I know someone that picked some up at a 4 wheel parts expo for $100. That would be ideal. But until then, I'd like to get mine black so it matches the truck better. Will probably do the grille as well. Just don't know what the best way to do that would be.

Trust me been trying to figure out how to do this for a few mounts. Low profile mounts from Ford are 100 bucks a piece!!! Anyways I plan on changing my to black as we'll and found black rock guard at advance auto for about 12 bucks a can.
