Bug Shield Came Off (pics)

Hey yall, I just got my Rockstars put on and was contemplating taking off my chrome bug shield with them. I was already thinking I would but having 3 pages of people agreeing with me to do it got it off a little quicker. Finally got it off today! Heres a few before and after pictures. Tell me what ya think.

Before(also before Rockstars):


After:




Next up is Black Ford Ovals, possibly black F-150 badges and a leveling kit.

Looks good man but I think it would look better with the running boards sitting next to the bug shield

Exactly. I like knowing that the running boards will take the hit from door/shopping carts/rocks etc rather than the cab.

Much better looking, now paint the grill, grill surround, and the running boards and it'll really make it look great. I hate those style running boards I have them on my Supercab, they break easilly, my passenger one is all f-d up from hauling in the woods. I want black FX4 ones.

Yeah my passenger side cracked right next to the front door. Was pretty mad about it, then I went out there with some heavy duty super glue and put it back together and used a razor to get rid of excess glue and spray painted it. Its held up for about 6 months so far.

thanks for the compliments yall.
