Thank you all. It is honestly not hard, you just have to measure - then re-measure and tape off the truck properly. I actually ended up removing the side stripes a few weeks ago and it was easier than I anticipated, especially using a little WD-40 which breaks down plastidip easily.

Ok so I did upgrade the interior after a while also. Got tired of the mundane black look in the lower trim levels. Installed leather seats from Roadwire (solid black). I also found a Raptor-like steering wheel cover that actually is quite nice for only $35. It was honestly pure luck that these interior pieces matched so closely to Race Red (PQ). I was very pleased! I found these pieces off of AliExpress.

I also attempted the exterior door handle covers for a while but they did not match up nearly as well as the interior pieces - so I took them off.

Link to that steering wheel cover and interior trim please? Does the trim just tape onto the factory stuff?

Here's the link to steering wheel:

AND....the link to the trim pieces (gone up $30+ in price since I bought them, must be popular): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...c73a72cc7321-0

Just posted the links...and yes - it is all red 3M double-sided tape and once you prep with alcohol wipes this stuff ain't coming off. Had on for over a year and most everyone who sees it thinks they are custom color-matched to the truck....

Also - sometime after the interior "overhaul" I found some ANZO taillights on the cheap online (ebay). Got them for $183 shipped which was a steal... I thought they improved the look tremendously with the red/black theme.

Heck - while I'm at it (and because I see it in the previous photo) - I wanted to update the tailgate look to appear more up-to-date with the newer F150 stamped tailgates. I found a decent matte black decal on Ebay for around $25 and carefully installed it in the same location as the 2018's. See before and after photos:
