Default what can I do?

what can I do to my truck that's not expensive to make it look good? I already plan to paint the grill and buy lights to go behind the grill. I do not want to black anything out because I want it to look clean.

I think painting your bottom valance white would look awesome.. maybe some white "Ford" overlays for your front grille and tailgate. Overlays are like $10 a piece. That's like $20 with the paint to change the look. I've always told myself if I had a white truck I'd get crystal clear heads and corner lights, like the Lightning just no orange in the corner light. Your heads seem to be in good shape anyways

I don't know if this is the direction you want to go, but this is what I would do if my truck was white. Might give you some ideas

I'd paint the valance black to match the grille insert and add these headlights:

They run around $108 on eBay. Also upgrade the factory fogs to some Depo fogs, they have the clear lenses to match the heads. A note about the corner markers, before you go ordering corner lights without a DOT approved amber reflector you need to check your state and local laws. Many states and cities require your lights to meet DOT standards. Don't want a ticket.

I changed my antenna to an arrow for $6. I would lightly tint my tails. Plasti dip my rims black. Roof lights.

Save up some money and put a bull bar on it. That would look nice. You still have a very nice truck.
