I like many others with white got stuck with chrome bumpers, but it is starting to grow on me. What I would like to know is what is behind the plastics snubs on the front bumper? Could you pull them and do some sort of mesh grill?

They are Caliper Covers.....
...from MGP Caliper Covers. All U.S. made by Mike Barland and his team in Chula Vista, CA.
Take a look at www.calipercovers.com
Mike will powdercoat them in any color you want....or even custom painting them to match factory paint colors.
The aluminum caliper covers also act as heat sinks...drawing heat out of the caliper...and helping keep your brakes cooler.

Had several white trucks, chrome is a nice offset but so is black. I am not a fan of black light covers I actually think nice clear headlights look very good on white. Little things like painting the "F150" in the badge a different color like red or blue also really make the truck pop. Depending on your rims you can do the same with them by painting a small part. On top of all that keep it clay bared and waxed, a nicely detailed white truck really stands out.

Wow. These all have some awesome parts. The black exhaust and f150gilly's bug deflector wrapping the chrome, those caliper covers are wicked. Parking next to a tundra is tied for best with desert dawgs. Ha
The truck came with a LOT of chrome. So to start is tinted windows, led lights, a small non obnoxious sub, and a sleek tonneau.
First thing first, get rid of this ridicous smile every time I drive. The truck is awesome
