Probably. That would be a good idea. Look to see what you can find...You don't have to take my suggestion to heart. Just a suggestion based on my preference...but I do think it would look better that way than with the black bumpers and grill surround. IMO black bumpers on any color other than a black truck just looks like a stock cheap black bumper...PTM makes it look more custom then if you do all of your other addons in black(which u already have pretty much done) it will really look good!

Check out my truck at the top of page 26 on this thread for a visual reference....I think if the grill surround and bumpers were black it would look a bit odd. the PTM really makes it flow together IMO.

Thanks guys, think I am going to stay with the chrome bumpers though. I want to keep a little bit of chrome on, but very little. I am getting chrome F150 inlays for the badges soon. Ordered them today.

Do the PTM bumpers and leave the chrome headlights and grill surround. No offense, just the chrome bumpers make it look a little awkward with all the other black out stuff.....Just my opinion though. Nice truck either way

I've noticed quite of few of you have the headlights without any of the amber (orange) blinker plastic, did most of you paint yours and removed that piece, or did you order them that way? - thanks

Mine were painted by lordfeyr He has an ad in the classifieds on this forum. His paintwork is flawless. The only downside to mine is that they fog up periodically and I cant for the life of me keep them from doing it.

Blacked out for sure, but not a big fan of the front sitting higher than the rear. I see that pretty often and still can't adjust to it.

[QUOTE=BrainDonor;4099916]Totally agree...looks great!

Here's mine:



Though this one is pre-glossy B's:






as much as I love black wheels I have to say that yours just don't look right....you need to paint the center caps black and get som aggresive tires or something...You got a nice truck don't get me wrong somthing just ain't right IMO

Not sure if you thought of keeping your stock wheels, but take a look at my album and you can see what I did for awhile before I bought aftermarket.

yeah I saw that.....that looks awesome. I have a set of 18" FX4 stockers that I am going to try to paint black when I have time. Since nobody wants to buy them. But those 20's look awesome.
