Can you post the pic you're talking about? Because you're confusing the hell out of me!

f150cam

this one lol.

Oh

I thought you were talking about the most recent batch with the smoked lights

f150cam

lol thought i said first page first photo ohwell, yea that is the only f150 that iv seen that has the same paint as mine, iv seen a couple norm cabs but not an extended cab short bed.

on another note that is more with this thread, i like how nice the paint is on your truck. my friend has a 87 f150 extended cab short bed and the paint is faded to high heaven.

I read "first photo" and not "First page photo" so that could just be my problem. I didn't pay any attention to that truck while I was there, I was too starry eyed over my $200 beauty.

That's stock paint, but it really pictures a lot better than it is. There's no clear left on the roof, the hood delaminating and bubbling all over, the driver side has no clear by the fender and halfway to the middle, my door is delaminating, and the top edges of both fenders have peeling clear coat.
But even with all that crap coming off it still looks like great, and I don't know how. You don't even really notice the flat parts.

yea my friends truck is red and it almost looks like it was painted with chalk or something. but if he gets it wet the paint shines like new. i got a small spot above my windshield thats oxidizing which me off lol. i plan on repainting it some day the same color. but that shade of blue works for your truck.

You do know there is an easier way to get those headlights out without pulling the buckets correct?

mustangGT90210

No... I had no idea. But I kinda needed the buckets pulled anyway because I did the corners too. I really didn't wanna have to re-aim the lights so I figured pull the full bucket and the aim will stay

You have a nice truck. Good buy for $200. Personally, I would leave it stock. Except maybe tires and wheels. IMO, smoked lights don't look good on this truck. I don't get you younger guys with all your LED's, HID's and techno crap.

mustangGT90210

I returned the headlights to stock today, couldn't see up to my standards. Left the corners smoked though.

I'm just not a big fan of these big, ugly housings. I wish the aftermarket had an answer. Or even just something with a clear lens


I didn't know my HIDs and LED running lights were all fancy
