Welcome to the site! You'll learn a lot quickly here. We are brutally honest, but there are a lot of good guys here with a lot of good info.

If you are going for clean, those wheels ain't gonna cut it. I personally think they look ridiculous. Seems more appropriate for a lime green 86 Crown Vic. It would take a lot of mods just to get your performance numbers back to stock with those boat anchors at each corner.

It's good to see you're ditching the tow mirrors. Those stock mirrors with caps you mentioned will look much better.

Colormatching the door and tailgate handles will go a long way. Grab a few parts from an 06 or 07 classic truck. The upper bumper caps were smooth and painted those years. Also grab a lower black valence from those models or colormatch the one you have.

My vote with headlights is either leave them completely OEM or go all the way with clears/HIDS, etc. If you took the time to do true HIDs, I would have cleared the corners, too.

Love the window tint and colormatched bowtie, and the fact you've debadged and demolded. Get rid of the pin-stripe on the side to complete the look.

Any photos showing the rear bumper?

Thanks man, I love my wheels and i personally think they are a clean wheel compared to alot of the crap that is out there. They are a little bigger than people normally do, and I do like to be different. Its not like the truck is lifted on the wheels and i am not trying to drag race the truck.

I am for sure trying to get some pieces color matched, getting the new mirrors painted asap and trying to find the bumper cover local. Any suggestions on doing the lower valance? Like sanding it down first or using a filler primer, or both.

The tint is 15% all the way around but it always looks super dark, i dont mind though.

I have the stock bumper for now, any suggestions?
