So, what do you guys think about the whole "Stormtrooper" Theme that people do with trucks. Do you think that it looks better with the all white with black trim, rims, lights, etc. or the two tone black and white paint job with black trim, lights, rims, etc. ?

I also seen that thread but truthfully I want them back where they were.. I don't like how the frame bulges out due to the BL so I will be boxing the front if the frame to allow it to accept the width of the hooks and bolt up to look stock along with raising factory hitch to original distance from the rear bumper ( wanting it to still look factory with the BL) I don't believe my kit come with brackets to raise the hooks..

??? Didn't know it was "stormtrooper" look.. I despise chrome so that's y my bumpers were painted white... I like both all white body with black trim and the two tone white/black.. but im also not big fan of the two tone looks of our trucks! Lol but that's just me without buying a brand new f150 it took me 2to yrs to find mine because all I could find where the 2tonesfun for the right price.. BTW I like how urs is turning out.. keep up the good work

It is a medal bracket that you stick between the tow hook and the bottom of the frame so the hooks are lower than the valance

O OK.... thanks ill have to look for it once I get home, til I can figure out how to put them in stock location in the bumper, and still have original look lol..the moreover think about it I believe it was a 2wdpain valance with slight trimming to go in our bumpers ... that may be the route I go

Its a work in progress. The bumpers and panels are half paint and half plasti dip atm. Got called in to work and then the weather got bad. Just gonna wait till the summer to finish everything up.

I like the bumpers and rockers to remain white with factory black flares. Black rims, grille, Harley style headlights, and lightly tinted tails and third to round off the look. The white can look so clean that two tone rockers take away from the look in my opinion.

If you get a chance could you take a pic of how low the tow hooks and rear tow bar are. I am considering the BL but those are things that will drive me crazy if there to low. I have the ground clearence I need but with 33's and just level kit it rubs at full turn with part of the flair trimmed. I am just opposite on likeing the two tone colors and chrome. I am old school i guess and like chrome or polished look.

The white/black looks good but to each his own or all our trucks would be same.

Very true our trucks wouldit all look the same if we had all the same taste...I just got word from my dispatcher that im going to be out on the road til thanksgiving so it will be 2a wks before I can take pics if u are running stock rims at full lock are u sure u r not rubbing something others than plastic unless its 2wd (I think uca) that's what I rubbed before BL with stock rims/35s... I love older trucks 2and toned just not the 97^…
