Tasteful mods! Clean ecoboost build. Curious about your Airaid and Heartthrob exhaust. How do you like them? I'm in the market for an intake and exhaust and I have been considering either an airaid or aFe. Exhaust is between either Heartthrob or Stainless Works.

Thanks! I've been VERY happy with my heartthrob exhaust. It was easy to install, high quality, and sounds amazing. I did a lot of research on the sounds and I have been really happy with the heartthrob. As for the intake, it does make the popping sound at lower Rpm's that people have discussed on the forums, but other than that its done its job! Not sure Id recommend it as highly as the exhaust, but I got a good deal on it!

I ended up going to 4wheel parts, since their website showed that they had some fuel wheels that fit my truck. Turns out they were out of stock/discontinued, but they called up MHT fuel and we tracked down some 8lug blanks they had in a warehouse. MHT actually drilled the wheels for free thanks to the guys at 4 wheel parts!

Ive been contemplating doing a paint to match on the mirror tops, bumper top, and finding a white 2013 grille, and decided to test it out with plasti dip before I actually spent the time and money to do it right. let me know if you guys think I should go for the real thing!

I used 2 cans of white plasti as well as 2 cans of glosifier, and even though the paint isn't a perfect match, its pretty close!

That thing is looking sharp man. Really like the clean build, and it's nice to see an 8' bed on a 150 these days.

Your truck looks really good. Love the look of the supercab long bed. Upper bumper and mirror caps look real good.

Looks really nice, a lot better plasti dipped and a new white grille would be perfect.
