Mods? Upgrades?-24.jpg
Here's my truck, i need ideas on what else too do to it that wont cost a ton of money. I already have a silencer mod an i plan on doing the gotts mod, tint needs to be redone, have an LED tailgate light bar, rubber undercoat from the trim down, i plan on swapping the grille and installing lightes behind it. What else is there that i can do too this truck without going broke, money's tight. Any ideas will help and be took into consideration. Please add photos with these ideas so i can see what it looks like, thank you.

remove that hideous trim!!!!

Also get a paintmatched grille surround, plastidip the chrome part of your front and rear bumpers, smoked or clear headlights and corner lights. Theres so many options you just ahve to choose your direction and go with it.

You need to murder your truck out. black headlights, taillights, 3rd brake light, put some dark tint on the led brake light bar so its all black and hidden, powdercoat or just paint your rims black, def take off the trimming, paint your exhaust tips black as well as your chrome bumpers and you will have your self a mean f#%kin machine

the rubber undercoat in a spray can costs like 7 bucks a piece and i used prolly 5-7 cans too do one light coat and too thicker coats. the only way to mess up on this is a you suck at taping and you get it every where or you dont let the coats dry properly, i waited a day between coats. defienetly worth it

I dont particularly like murdered trucks. there are some very nice ones and other vehicles that id murder but i wanna keep the bumpers, tips, and wheels nice and shiny. not a fan of projectors on these vehicles but i have thought of smoked or crystal clear headlights and corners as well as smoked LED taillights. does anyone have pictures of a black f150 like this without the trim? and any with smoked or clear headlights/ smoked LED taillights?

I smoked the stock taillights and third breaklight. I do alot of backin in the driveway at night, so i taped off the reverse lights so they still shine bright. They look kinda cool too. When i bought this truck it had the same trim on it, i removed it the day i brought it home.
