What color is that on the wheels looks like it would match the dark grey perfect that comes in two tone

I don't remember, the powder coater and I just started grabbing samples and I picked it. I'll get the Prismatic code from him next week and let you know.

Progress. Should have it back on the ground tomm, still have a lot of detail stuff left on the front. Reroute abs and vacuum lines, paint d/shafts etc. Coilovers are getting charged in the morning. I'm going to give a in depth detail while I have shop space this weekend too.

I need to do the sway bars next week and my air bag brackets when they get in.

She's on the ground. Still have a bunch of small stuff to take care of though. One thing I know for certain is the chrome has got to go ASAP! Looks like ****. I'm thinking a paint matched Fab Four Vengeance front and their premium rear, or just paint the stockers. Thoughts?

Paint the stock bumpers an put an F450 front flare on it.

I like those Fab Fours.
Truck minus chrome looks damn good!

I agree. Truck is bad ass but gotta do something about the chrome

I already have a paint to match grille shell for it, just been debating on grille options. Plan has always been to do something with the bumpers, but I didn't expect it to be that ugly haha. On of my shop hands previously suggested Sully's idea also, I just don't think the wheels stick out enough to make them look right. I may try and find some OE platinum bumpers to get me by until I can swing the Fab fours. I have a bathroom remodel scheduled that if I delay any longer my wife will for sure kill me.

I'd make the bumpers and grill the same color as those wheels or maybe line x

zporta · Jan 3, 2016

The problem with dark bumpers is the will look even bigger and uglier. I think PTM aftermarket bumper will look 10x better

bhudson · Jan 3, 2016

I like those wheels, but to me the Fuel Hostage II would look even better

FordPSD64 · Jan 3, 2016

Definitely ptm. I wouldn't paint them the same color as the wheels though. Bumper has to be the color of the truck. You could go a few different options on the grill. I think on that big of a truck front end replacements are the best look.

bhudson · Jan 3, 2016

Powder coated desert tan would look good

Jmuck · Jan 3, 2016

Bumpers will for sure be pearl white.

bhudson · Jan 3, 2016

Better than chrome, but not my first choice. Nice truck though either way.

Maiden voyage a success. I still want to reroute abs wires (passenger side looks like crap) So far I'm impressed with the FOA c/overs, very comfortable and controlled. I also need to drop the carrier bearing a touch to get rid of a very slight vibe. Now time for the other exterior mods and finish detailing the under side.
