I'd be interested to see if the heated mirrors would work on a truck only equipped with rear defrost.

License plate bulbs showed up from superbrightleds. Went with the natural white color.

Final product

 

No more mesh grille

After almost breaking down and buying a new grille I was able to trade with a guy off craigslist. Even came with a tuxedo black overlay. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the 32" bar I have mounted behind the grille.



I'll update pictures next weekend after we get over rain for the next 4 days.

 

I thought you were never going to find one .....
It's coming together nicely

 

The paint correction turned out great, nice work man.

You probably already have this planned but if not I would hit all the plastic with some trim sealer.
I have used Wolfgang Trim sealer and Gtechniq C4 trim restorer.
I did the C4 on my 2013 when I bought it and the bumper and running boards are still shiny and black almost like they are painted. My plastic is nicer than some of the 15-16's I have seen that have been in the sun a bit.
As you probably already know don't use Armor All or other crap trim coating as they don't last a week. A quality trim sealer will last several years.

Here is my bumper and bed caps that still look perfect

 

BTW- your new grill looks a million times better than the mesh grill.
For some reason the mesh grill just did not work at all for your truck.

 

Thank you, it's getting there. Oh I didn't think I was going to find anything either. I was checking craigslist everyday, probably 20 times a day. This behind the Tremor and STX sport grille is my favorite factory grille.


The plastic has been treated, however a lot of it will eventually go away as well. I have some replacements in mind. I'm a big fan of Wolfgang's trim sealer, never tried the Gtechniq C4 tough...

I agree, for some reason that style of grille works well on some trucks but just did not flow with mine.


Also I forgot to mention, I picked up these today too.



Going to replace the factory fender emblems. I'm up in the air about what I want to do with them though. I like how subtle the black with grey insert is but I'm considering mimicking the appearance package black/red.

 

Looking good for sure.

 

Thank you.

 

Truck looks great. I have an '11 black FX4 and actually put Raptor side steps on yesterday. The biggest thing looks wise I did was get the oem painted flares and painted them to match, so much better than the grey textured.

 

Truck looks good, I agree the PTM flares look much better. I'm considering an aftermarket flare but haven't quite decided yet.

I'm leaning towards getting the power fold tow mirrors next. Visually it won't make a big difference but rolling my window down every time I pull in and out of the garage to fold the mirror is getting old fast.
