Looks nice. I wonder how it would look if you pulled those PIAA fogs back so that they don't protrude so far in front of the opening?

Agreed. I knew there was something that didn't seem right.

Other than that nice job.

Don't know why i get crap about being president of a Ford truck world chapter all the time.. for me Ford truck world here in Vermont is a hobby. I know many people don't like the site anymore, to me its where i make and have made many friends and can make a differnce outside here in the real world, not online. The site is just a page to me, like a piece of paper but the club is real right here in my very small town. THE STICKER STAYS!! :)

Big D...... don't mind all the sticker comments. They are mostly coming from people who walked away from that site or have been kindly escorted out, and they'd love nothing more than to pass their hate on so everyone else will share their distaste. Don't let it get to you.

I dig the wheels. Nice job.

yeah, it looks good, i'm digging the wheels. I do agree with dev about the piaa's (or at least their covers) looking a bit out of place. They really stand out...

Overall, nice job..

If you don't mind a little constructive criticism (well, you did ask...)

Please don't take this the wrong way - it's just my opinion. Your truck has taken on a 'busy appearance'. There's just so much on it that, to me, it just looks too cluttered. I would lose the head and tail lights, the wind deflectors, the vinyl on the sides and the back window. And, if it's still possible, remove the clearance lights - they stick out like a sore thumb.

To me it would look much cleaner if you took a simpler approach.

...but that's just my opinion (and I've got too many sometimes)...

WTF is FTW anyway?

I would have to agree with TiT, you've got too much going on with that truck. Are the cab lights really hooked up or are they just stuck on? They are best left on the Super Duty trucks, not a sport truck.

I love the wheels (had the same ones on my old Effie) and while the truck (overall) isn't to my liking, I've learned that a vehicle is an extension of one's self and as long as you're happy with it, that's really all that matters.

Now let's get a Truckblog sticker on that bad boy!

Cab lights have to stay, they are drilled in and i am not doing any more sanding, filling or painting on that roof, i agree they do not match the truck anymore. I love my LED taillights and my headlights, no way i would get rid of them for the $$$ i spent.

Put clear covers on them and they will blend in better.

You could try having them sprayed with a light coating of the body color to make them blend in more.

Or, see about getting some lower profile ones. Personally, I don't mind the cab lights so much, I honestly think they're kind of cool.

Wow, I'm finding myself agreeing with a comment made by a site's webmaster. Don't take it hard, the caustic coments about FTW. I love FTW! But the site management yonder.....let's say I rarely agree with them. My only complaint was the body kit on the front end, and the street tires, but that truck looks damn good. Makes me glad I cant post a pic on here yet, lol
