Race red is tough, it's a super bright color so when you black it out it's nothing but red popping out, and if you chrome it out, it's 100% bright! I tinted the windows and bought some machined wheels is as far as I've went. I didn't even want to install my blackout mirror reflectors. My friends all tell me to take the 4X4 sticker off but I say it breaks up the red. Same thing with the tail lights, if those are black they'd look so out of place. It's a tough choice trying to keep it tasteful. Here's a couple of the only pictures I have on this computer.

No future mods in mind either, except a lift and bigger tires but I'm not ready.

yea im looking at different ways to make it stand out from all the other trucks that look just like mine around here :P rims are next i think, some machined wheels with a little black similar to yours would really look nice, not a fan of the stock 17s. definitely going to keep it simple and not to busy tho.

great looking truck btw

Thanks! If you ever find a set of raptor takeoffs those would also look great, they are a more practical route but not nearly as unique.

The only part of my 2014 Race Red XLT is them dang taillights. Reminds me of my 2001 Fast and the Furious ricer days. I plan on getting the FX4/Raptor/HD tails and headlights sooner or later.

Yes I added the FX stripes a few weeks ago.
