The excitement is so high I had to share. The only problem is the new takeoff I bought is dark green and I need it to be black. That wouldn't be a problem other than I figured about $150-200 too low for a paint job!!! This is going to make this thing just as expensive as a brand new one from Ford, oh well...it sure does look purdy Maybe somebody will trade me a black one for a green one...I wish...

 

How much are they charging to paint the tailgate?

 

Are you going to get the chrome letters, and did it come with a step?

Are these the chrome letters you are asking about?

 

[quote=skipperw;6200742]Those are the opposite that I would get. I like the stainless ones that go in the recess. My wife already gave me the go ahead, but I want to see if they stand out enough w/o them.

I have gotten two quotes. One for 250 and one for 300.

Nope, no step, but I am pretty proud of the buy. I got the gate and a black painted bumper for $250 (Any tips on trading this or getting it chromed would be appreciated.)
