Can't find an FX4 with this trim - what are my choices?

This is the truck I want. I want the white paint with darker trim paint on the bottom, the matching darker bumper and the matching wheel well trims. But, after weeks and weeks of searching, I just can't find one. Been to dealers, been on autotrader. But I have seen quite a few white XLT 4x4's obviously without that dark trim. Now I don't care for leather seats being down in the desert so that's no biggie and skid plates I can always add later and to be honest I would rather have upgraded skids instead of OEM anyway. I'm hoping I can get lucky with the LS differential and gears. I plan to lift the truck anyway so those FX4 Rancho shocks would be coming off anyway.

But my question is - do they sell those darker trim bumpers and wheel well trim things and where? I could take those to a painter and he could paint that darker trim on the body and it probably wouldn't cost all that much since it's a basic job and not much to paint.


Thanks - and here's the truck I'm looking for but can't find in an 09 10.

2009 was the last year for the two tone paint scheme on the FX4.

The easiest would be to keep looking and stick with the stock parts and colors.

I would like to know where I can buy that stock darker bumper for both 2009 and 2010. If I get the bumper, I can always take that to a paint shop and they can match exactly and paint the body. I've looked and don't know where to get those bumpers........and those wheel trim pieces. I need both.

I've continued looking for that rare 2009 2 tone and it's just not out there, anywhere remotely close to me.

No. Just go on ebay and search for F150 OEM Fender Flares. They are all over ebay.

You sure about that? I found this one today with the same 2 tone paint and it's a 2010.

According to the window sticker, I don't see where it says two tone or where they are charging for it.
Somehow it got through as a two tone.

The 2010 order guides and brochures say no two tone paint on FX4, but that may be wrong.

New for 2010MY:
Features and Options No Longer Available
◦Flareside box
◦Pueblo Gold two-tone paint on XLT
◦Two-tone paint on FX4

In the 2009+ F150s, the FX4 was only available with the two-tone paint in 2009 in the US. However, the two-tone paint FX4s were available in Canada in 2009 and 2010. But like Rambo pointed out, if the paint had been factory then it would say it on the window sticker. So either the website wrote the wrong VIN # or someone modded it later on. I believe the two-tone color is Sterling Grey Metallic with paint code M7205A, UJ. The fender flare lips are standard that color (it's just plastic, not paint) on FX4s, so you wouldn't have to get that painted. You'd just have to get the bumpers and side of the truck painted if you went the modding route. Personally, I think they should have kept the two-tone paint scheme as an option because I really like it. And DesertDawg's 2009 FX4 that was pictured is one of my all-time favorite trucks.
