Default Tux Black FX4 5.0

Hey guys, figured I'd start listing what I've done (not much) and what I'm hoping to do (quite a bit) and since I finally decided to join figured I may as well do something, lol.

Looking good so far man, 35s will look awesome on it. That's what I want to put on my levelled (2.5") f150. With an offset just a bit less than stock you can get away with it pretty easy from what I've researched. My problem Is I want the offset as well. Either a 20x9 and a 35 or a 20x10 -12 or -19 and a 35. But that will require a **** load of trimming.

you can check out my build thread to get an idea what the tow mirrors and black fx20s look like

Funny thing... yours was the one that reminded me about the tow mirrors. Sometimes I wonder about the black wheels but I like how yours looks. I'm considering 33s just because of the practicality and less likely to rub, but EVERY time I see a level F150 on 35s with some nice wheels, I may or may not start drooling a little...

i completely agree. I look at mine sometimes and I'm like happy with the 33s, just gonna rock that or maybe step up to a 295/60r20 which is like a 34. However, when I see one with 35s I'm like, yup that's what I'm getting haha

Well, played around with some Plastidip today. Kinda messed up on a couple spots, but not enough to make me redo it. Also got some Ford emblem overlays, undecided on if I love them or not. Also did the orange lens on the mirror.
Overlays didn't go on perfectly straight, mostly because I got tired of trying. Close enough and can't tell by glancing at it. Also removed the Flex Fuel badge. Hair dryer and Goo Gone, don't have any buffing compound to finish it, but can't really even tell it was there to start.

Love it! Where did you get that sticker for the Ford emblem on your steering wheel?

It all came in a package. Came with 2 big overlays for front and rear, 1 big overlay for the rear if you have a camera since it's a different size, and one for the steering wheel.

2007-2014 if anyone is interested. Other styles as well.

Nothing exciting, just got some Red F-150 overlays today. Didn't fit the best but once again, can't really tell glancing at it.
