I call this cheap security.




I took an old base model radio I had, removed the face, and glued the volume **** and lcd to the back side of the face. The buttons were attached to a separate piece as well, and had to be glued. Then I cut everything smooth on the back side, and glued a piece of cardboard to the back to prevent scratching my nice radio. The only thing I have to do now is to figure out how I want to secure it to the front of my Pioneer double din. I have thought about velcro, but I don't think it would look too clean. I also thought about magnets, but I don't want to harm the LCD at all. Any ideas?

 

I love it. Maybe magnets on the top?

 

or you could tint the windows so people cant see in

 

The rear windows are tinted, I do plan on doing the same with the fronts.

 

nice find! I wish mine had 50,xxx miles! glad to see you painted that faded grille, that is one of the first mods I did on my truck and it takes years off of the truck!

 

Yea, it bugged me from the start, but I knew it was an easy fix. A few friends told me to grab a billet grill, but I feel they're played out. I was considering painting it white too.

 

well in case your wondering what it would look like, this guy painted his white as well as pretty much every piece of plastic on his truck

 

That looks pretty good.

 

Last weekend I threw a pair of FX4 decals on the truck. I know its not an FX4 but I love the look of the decals. The problem is that I put them on too far back, so I will probably end up pulling them off and either trying another set out, or finding a different style of 4x4 decals. Also, does this truck tend to sit higher than other F150's? I seem to be taller than all of the Fords with the same body style, and I was only about an inch shorter than a newer Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4.

 

I am also thinking of removing the pin stripes, I've never been a fan of them. Are the door guards double sided taped on, or are they clipped on? I want to get rid of those too.
