Default Need some ideas/opinions

So I plan on doing a lot to my truck this summer once the funds are available but I wanted to try to get it somewhat, if not all, planned out.

The first thing up is, I cracked the pass back rear step. Do you guys think it is worth it to replace it? I was thinking if I do replace it, I might have to get all new plastic for the bed so that it all matched because idk if a plastic restorer would make it look right. So I would like to hear thoughts
on that.








Second is, I have a brush guard but I got new brackets for it which dont fit and if I cant get it sorted out then I was thinking of doing the raptor light mod with the ford overlay in the grille because the front seems to "open" to me. I wanted to hear opinions on how that would look and what color I should paint the overlay-ptm burgundy, ptm gray, or black? Also do you think it would effect the lights too much?





And third is there is some body damage from the previous owner. I was wondering if anyone would know about how much it would cost to fix it.








Thanks for the help.

Just get some roll on bedliner and some bondo, fix what you can of the damage and cover it with the roll on bedliner.

I would try to fix all the body damage myself if you have the time. All you need is a few low cost body tools, some materials, a little know how, and a lot of patients as you figure out how it's done. Once you learn how you can fix vehicles on the side for your friends and make some good walking around money.
