So far that is all the things I have changed on the truck. Now it is up to you all to help me out with some ideas but soon I will have to get new Tie Rod Ends and Ball Joints and fix the infamous rear window leak that I have. Also the surround will be getting painted black becuase it is the faded stock grey color. Also my grill will be getting painted black also because it is the grey color, just not faded. Haha

The grille and window trim re blacked make a huge difference, you should get some lightning or Harley headlights too. And 08+ SuperDuty tail lights the lights make a big difference and clean up the looks a ton.

Okay, so are those the taillights you were talking about? Are the heads and tails I picked out good? If you dont think so you can find other ones you suggest, 97 XLT 4.6L V8 if eBay asks you. Haha.
