I like it a lot. Get some fresh tire shine on those tires and they would look great. Maybe a set of chrome center caps as well...just my $.02. It does look good though. Gotta love the brick nose fords.

I am guessing by the overspray you didn't take anything off to paint it.

I've always wondered how you prep them chrome mirrors for paint, I'd love to have mine and all the chrome trim on my truck black next year but never knew of a good way to prep the chrome.
