Fantastic! I did a photoshop awhile ago of the exact opposite, the white sports were black and rest all grey. Your idea looks great, very nice.

I did the same thing, then went this way.

Thanks



Took me a good part of 12 hours from the time I put the truck on the lift till I was done spraying. Of course not everything went like it should of. The company delivered the paint and didn't notice till I started spraying the last can that it was FLAT black, not satin. Oh well it worked out in the end after a road trip.

That looks really good. I don't usually go for black wheels but that really adds a little something to your truck. Its very suiting on that FX4.

Agreed! Looks good, maybe paint the silver parts red to match your truck?

Added some 305-50-20 toyo's. I was told they were going to be 305/55/20 ohwell they look better than the pizza cutter pirelli's. Now I am stuck on whether to take the rear block out or lift the front. If they where 305/55 I was going to lift the front.

I guess I can take the block out and see if I like it and go from there.

lOOKS GOOD. Not to get off topic but has anyone taken apart the 09 taillights yet and tried doing black over the chrome? I have no Idea why ford choose to do all that chrome on the tails but it looks soo much better like on the raptors. Just wondering if anyone has chosen to tackle it yet. Would look good on your truck btw.

They look really good, in fact they look almost like what I did to my 20's on my 07. Although I didn't have to use primer (just a lot of taping/sanding).Check out my pics. One thing I will add is that mine ended up looking way better when I painted the center hub section black (ended up leaving the fake lugs chrome and the ford emblem too).
