Default 2012 f150 fx4

So I picked this black beauty up today....traded in my 2001 for a 2012 FX4, so this is going to be my official "build thread" for my new-to-me truck!
The first mod I'll be doing is installing all new interior and exterior LED's and possibly HID's (I'm unsure about the HID's yet). I would also like to do red interior glow under the seats, as well as ambient white lighting for when a door is opened.



Out with the old, in with the new!

First mod: LED lights inside and out
















Comparing reverse lights, left is LED, right is original. The LED is much brighter in person!!

Awesome looking truck man! I almost bought the extended cab version of your truck, but went with a Blue Flame FX4 instead. How are you liking the appearance package?

The only thing I regret about my current truck is the fact that I couldn't get into an appearance package in sterling grey, ruby red or black. Keep up the mods, the truck keeps getting better and better.

Plasti dipped the top of the windshield in order to get that "brow/eyebrow", and it looks...not too bad! From the inside, blocks out the sun and I like the look. On the outside (seeing as it was my first time ever doing it) it looks alright. I'll drive around with it for a couple of days, and see how I feel about it!
