Looking great. I keep debating which bumpers to run.

ADD Venom
RPG Raceline
Stewart Raceworks

Can't wait to see some proper photos of the truck when you get done with your Round 1 of modifications.

Those are all awesome bumpers. IMO I'd go with the RPG raceline or Stewart's. By visual appearance Stewart's has the best approach angle, but you can run tow hooks with RPG's. The Venom is one tough SOB though. Big Blue can attest for that. For anyone weary of the idea of cutting your frame the Venom is perfect.

Now that the bumpers are done and your flares are painted (no more metallic grey) might I suggest you have the grille painted satin black. I had mine painted and IMO it looks killer

i agree - but then i would have to buy the fx4 headlights that are black instead of the gray as well. all in due time maybe. the grill and the lights are more of the dark shadow gray that ford used to use - verus the sterling gray that was on the flares and bumpers. the grill doesnt bother me. i am probably going to have a vinyl shop here in town do the lettering on the grill in a satin black to break up the gray - i did it in white and did not like the look.

I left the grey headlights. The contrast isn't as significant as you would think. But those FX4 headlights sure would look good lol. anyway your truck is looking good but when the bomb goes off and you do the grille/headlights i'm sure we will be the first to know.

Looks great! Definitely want to paint my flares white to match. And might I suggest instead of the black headlight housing, you give Mr. RaptorRetrofit a call! Custom is the way to go!

thanks to the guy, not naming anyone in particular

(Birdman)

decided to break up the gray of the grille/lights a little bit. just a subtle change with black satin vinyl. had a local place do it.

also had them put some clear paint protection film on the painted space between the door sill and the running board to prevent that painted area from getting too beat up.
