Default Ways to make white look better

2013 XLT Screw - Oxford White

As I post this, 20 hours until pick up

What are the best accessories and mods that will make a white truck stand out over a typical roofing or carpentry truck?

Black out everything? Would LED in black light casings look stupid? I cant picture it

It's an XLT, so it won't look like a work truck, because it has chrome instead of black. I say keep the chrome that's on it and get some nice chrome wheels and nice tires. I like chrome on white.

Lots of chrome and color matched parts. Along with H-D headlights and tail lights.

What I did was paint my F150 emblems red, It is a small thing but i really like the way it looks. I am also going to replace my 4X4 sticker with something custom that has a little red in it.

I agree with the tint advice, mine is really dark and I love the way it looks. Keeping the truck really clean makes a difference. It's easy to overlook this because white tends to look a lot cleaner than it really is.

Keep/add some chrome...it's the single biggest difference from a work truck. Don't add any more white trim, and all blacked out is dated and played out unless you're 20 (my opinion). A black bed cover goes a long way to sharpen the look of a white truck. Spray the rear wheel wells black, I posted a thread on how to do this. Black stubbie antenna.
I had doubts about my oxford white truck but it looks decent and it is unbelievably easy to keep clean. The only other color I would probably prefer is silver. People here seem to love white, probably more than me and I have one
