Front and rear bumpers painted to match the red. Brother in law did that to his truck where it was chrome before, but the red now makes it looks sooo baddd**

Look what I got today.. Second place At a car show ... Haha..nice .. Judges said do some work under the hood.. Thinking ROUSH coil covers .. ?? New rear punkin covers look sweet but I'd hate to crack a brand new one open ... Looks wise I think I'm not over the top yet and I'd probably be better not doing much more

Well if they want LOOKS under the hood then yes get some coil covers and the boss intake.

Oh, and nice shiny coated HEADERS!

You could also put the mustang GT engine cover on if you don't want to lose the low end torque by using a boss intake.

20%= perfect..
Went to a custom shop.. 130$ front windows and windshield visor... Johnson tint.. Guaranteed for life .. And they even took the doors apart to do the entire window

They suggested to me
What to do next
Recon smoked clearance lights..?? Not sure
Recon red lens tinted led tail lights
Recon black halo head lights
They do tint spray to, getting the 3rd
Brake light sprayed. "smoke" and those dumb
Reflectors on the mirrors "smoked"

They do Audio also.. Said either pick 2 10's or 2 12's and a amp. Not ready
To jump into that much yet but would be cool under the back seats


O and I got the bed sprayed...

Very nice truck!

Keep the chrome bumpers. They looks good, and will keep looking good.

Anyone with painted bumpers will have pitting and peeling problems - especially if you plan to take rig offroad and use it as it was intended. All of my friend who have painted bumpers more than two years old all need repaints.
