If they stick out like a "Sore thumb" why would you want to buy them?

Nope! I pull a camping trailer, Thats why I bought a Super duty.

I had tow mirrors on my 03 F350. Thought I could live with the smaller ones on the 08 F350, but after two days, I just can't get used to them.

Seemed you were getting away from the black items on your truck.

I am going towards chrome. I will more than likely get the chrome inlays for the mirrors, and I doubt I'll be able to find chrome bumpers that I can afford. I'll get billet grill inlays and then there will be a little chrome up front, or maybe I'll pant the front grill whit, and both bumpers white too. Not to sure But Those mirrors are great for towing, and besides I sold my universal towing mirrors on e-bay.
Have a nice day!

I would paint the grill and bumpers to match the truck, and stay with the black chrome! Here is my old F150 with that look.

If you go with a chrome grille, you will definately need bumpers as well. Much cheaper to have them painted.

I have attached a sight if you are looking for accessories for that new 08. I do believe we can help you dress it up.

Hey bob2194,

Did the xlt headlights swap right in? got a picture? I need to swap out my xl headlights for the xlt's. I can deal with the work-truck appearance--it's a work-truck after all...but the sealed-beam xl headlights blow. Please help me

paint the grill to math the rest of the truck like they did on the 92-97 larits i did it to my 92 cause the black had faded and the yellow plastic was showing and it looks pretty sweet and makes the truck stand out

I saw that you can buy an all chrome grill but the cost a bunch of money, I checked the junk yards but nothing yet. I was think a chrome brush guard, am not sure on how that will look. Any ideas (don't have bunches of money, that's why I got a xl) I already have chrome rims and will get step bars and fender flares was planning on all chrome, but with the front black grill I was thinking about keeping everything black.(step bars, black fender flares and black brush guard but I think chrome looks nicer. What do y'all think? Give me some ideas
Thanks

RBP grills are cool in my opinion, maybe some recon lights? If your gonna go with fender flares id personally go with bushwackers. hope i helped.

Why did you need 1 headlight? Are you looking for xl headlights? I bought 2 xlt headlights for $150.00 I've got you 2 xl headlights. Are you selling the crome grill? Do you want to trade a black xl grill for your xlt grill? Let me know.
