Super charge look opinions needed
Howdy guys, I am trying to go with the supercharged look on my 1988 Ford F150 4x4 302. Well first off I know I want a cowl induction hood or something like that that looks super charged but having fun finding one for the bricknoses. Does anybody know where to find one for the bricknoses.
Secondly what other things should I add on in your opinion onto my 88 F150 to make it look supercharged and fast. So far I have a Lund cab fairing and fender flares. What else?
Thanks guys

BTW here is a pic of my 88 F150 so you get an idea:

LMC or Ebay may have a cowl hood for a bricknose. If you find one, get the lower profile one, it looks tons better.
This is just my opinion. If you want to look fast, loose the Razorback and fender flares. Excessive body kit type stuff, does nothing to make a truck look fast. Most fast trucks have none of these things.
You could paint the bumpers and grille etc white like a Lightning or Nite or Sport package.
Other than the mirrors, this is a mean looking bricknose! I might go with differen't wheels, but thats about it.

thanks for your opinion but I really want to keep the flares and cab fairing because I like the look the cab fairing is to be painted white the flares are gonna either stay red or go black not sure yet. LMC doesn't sell one I will have to check Ebay. I am gonna be putting on diamond plate rear bumper and the front bumper will be the same. Maybe supercharged isn't really the word for the look I am going for I want it to look like a sleeper in a way as in a way it looks like a 2wd but really is a 4x4. I don't really know how to describe it.

This thread is really making me laugh, You can not have a super charged sleeper look. You can have one or the other.
The Super charges look says, " Hey look at me I am bad to the bone."
The Sleeper look says, " Hey look all I have is a plain Jane 6 cylinder."
The look you have going with the fender flares and cab fairing says, " Hey look at me."
Brads white truck with the blue racing stripes to says "Supercharged"
Me I am all about Plain Jane on the outside and build the baddest motor you can

What me and my dad call a sleeper is that it looks like a 2wd but really is a 4x4. Like I said maybe supercharged isn't really the name or even sleeper thats just what we call it. I guess really what I am trying to do is get ideas for the whole truck. I have been off and on about a visor that goes over the windshield what do you guys think of those?
