I want to see what you guys think I should do to the exterior of my truck. Or what you like and don't like about it.

I just want to put it out there that I'm 16 and bought this all mostly by myself, just cause I know people when they see lifted trucks that their parents buy everything but I'm proud to say this was all me

Not a big fan of the brush guard, I think the overall stance of the truck would look much better without it... Maybe replace it with a black bull bar. I would also black out just the interior trim inside the hood scoops to make them pop a bit. Sweet looking truck though man, congrats...
Oh, Im also a fan of two-tone so I probably would do this with the trim lol vvvvvvvv

thanks means a lot, and yeah I was thinking about going two tone with some Bedliner because I do have some rust spots on rear lower part of the cab on both sides that I want to take care of before they spread

I replied to this post and your other one, because I saw this one first lol. But what I would do is get some POR 15, put that over the rust and then get some matte black Plastidip spray and use that to do the trim. then if you don't like it or ever want to change the color, you can just peel it off or dip right over it again...

yeah I may have to do some body work with bondo on the rust I was just going to sand it down and then bondo it if I needed too.

Personally, I'd lose the hood and the brush guard. To me (again, my taste) hoods like these on trucks just look silly. And those brush guards (that specific style) makes it seem like you're saying "I off-road frequently bro." Even though we all know it's mostly a pavement princess.

Seems like your tires are sticking out quite a bit.. maybe add some fender flares? or save for a programmer if you don't have one yet. I just bought that edge and it seems alright.

First thing I noticed was the brush guard. I personally hate that style on our trucks. They just look flat out goofy IMO. A bull bar would make the truck look much better. Second thing is the hood, replace it with a stock hood and that would be a huge improvement.
