What do you guys think of these ideas? I currently have a 06 single cab XL. I want to start with modifying my truck up to an XLT or better then a few other things with the engine and what not. Firstly I want to get new chrome bumpers (front and back), a new grill (prefer the honeycomb style) and replace the piece between the grill and bumper with one that matches the color of my truck (does anyone know what this piece is called), new A/T tires and then a level. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what order would be best to do these in? Also does anyone know a salvage yard around Jacksonville, FL, St. Augustine, or Valdosta GA that would have these newer F150 for me to maybe pull some parts from? Just a guy trying to fix up his truck, any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Throw a pic up so we can see what your current parts are.

They'res not going to be be too much more to offer other than your usual aftermarket headlight/tailights, maybe a grill swap, step bars if you don't alreay have. Not sure what look your going for but my XLT does not have fogs which bothered me so I added a set of offroad lights behind my grill.

a picture would help alot , is it 4x4, if so fender flares really change the look of the truck, foglight behind the grille , or mounted in the grille like mine, or you could do a smitty light bar which holds 4 lights, there are alot of opyions, i would just spend a while looking at other trucks on this forum, if it can be done to the truck someone on here has it done with pics, good luck, here is a pic of the light options i was talking about

I'm at work right now, I'll try and take a picture on my lunch break and put it up here since we are rally slow in the office today. Unfortunately its not a 4X4 which would have been great. But it’s my first car so its not suppose to be perfect right? Besides I like having projects to work on.

Here is a picture I took yesterday at home. I painted my bumpers over the weekend with some bumper coating spray paint I got at pepboys (the previous owner did so too but did an awful job) sanded them down and I actually really like the look of them now. Still need to replace the front one since its damaged and doesn’t look right (has anyone ever bought anything from partsgeek I had a friend recommend them). Anyway so I don’t think I want to do chrome bumpers anymore since I really do like the black. Next on my list is to replace the upper bumper with one to color match my truck and then some new rear view mirrors. Does anyone have some pictures of their reg. cab with tow mirrors? If not I want to do the regular power ones with turn lamps.
