New grille and truck all clean!
Had time to clean the truck this weekend so I took some better pics to post up here which really show how cool the new grille looks 
Some things I have in the works...
Replacing all lights on the truck with LEDs. Dome/map lights (done), License plate lights (White LEDs) done, front turn signals (Amber LEDs), tail lights (Red LEDs), reverse lights (White LEDs), 3rd brake light (Red LEDs), 3rd brake light bed lights (White LEDs).
Step bars are going to be color matched to the charcoal grey of the truck. The chrome doesn't polish up that great and I think they would look really cool if they were color matched to the truck.
New mirrors with red signal indicators on the side of the mirror (not in the glass). I tried searching online to see if I could just buy the mirror "cover" with the signal indicator on the side but I wasn't able to find anywhere that sold just the cover with the signal indicator.
New brakes... I want to upgrade my stock rotors with larger ones seeing as I'm running 35" tires. I'll be researching this on the forum in the next few days to see what my options are. Will probably paint my calipers grey while I have the tires off.

Thanks! It has a Daystar 2.5" levelling kit. Wish I could tell you the make of the valance but there's no manufacture stamp on it... lol. Tomorrow I'll be posting (If I can figure out haow) the CAD file I used for the F150 letters on the grille. You should be able to take it to any place that has a C&C Plasma cutter or Waterjet and get it cut.
