$150 id pick it up, they look better than our OE Bumper does IMO
Cant wait to see this thing

 

150 is a great deal. I picked up my chrome without sensors for $100. However I see a lot of bumpers black or chrome for $250.

 

Do the flares tuck in on the bottom or do they go straight down near the bottom of the bed/ front fender? I personally like the ones that tuck in and follow the body's radius near the bottom.

 

A few dirty shots. 08+ OEM mirrors with chrome cap and smoked LED signals, APS pocket style fender flares, clear corned HD headlights, and smoked 08+ OEM tails. Also, the VT365 International badges were installed in place of the Powerstroke badges on the front doors.







Definitely going to be paint matching the flairs. It's a bit too much black and is clashing with the rest of the truck. Also, painting them yellow will match the factory Amarillo package as the factory flairs were yellow as well. The mirrors look right to me and match the Amarillo package as well.

The tails I originally really liked, but now I'm wondering if I might want to change them. I love the shape and design, but having them black sticks out too much against the yellow I think. I'm wondering if I should go with something else. The problem is that without having the Amarillo bed stickers on I'm not sure what to do. There's a good chance having those stickers will change the look of the truck quite a bit.

Only other plans at this time are to get the 08+ chrome rear bumper and 08+ tailgate with the step. I'm trying to decide if I want to do all the black trim on the truck with the truck bed coating that I have now. It gives a really cool textured finish and it's super slip resistant not to mention it makes things more rugged looking. The factory plastic trim gets really slippery when it's wet. Obviously I won't do the mirrors as that would look lame.

Thoughts?

 

You need a smoked 3rd brake light to complete the smoked look.

Got any plans for cab lights?

 

Yea, I do plan on getting a new 3rd brake light. Like I said, I'm thinking of changing the tail lights and want to get a 3rd brake light to match. Thinking of getting LED tails and 3rd brake light. As far as cab lights I've never really thought of getting them, don't understand the point I guess.

 

I think it lookss great right now. The flairs and mirrors help out a lot. I like the harley headlights with the black flairs more now a well. It will be great when the back gets updated to 08. Also the amarillo badge would be fine now with the personalizing you have done.

 

I like the Mirrors & the Fender Flares just how they are
However i believe your Tail's are too dark & since your thinking LED's iam posting a shot of mine which i think would look great on your truck as well (I do have matching 3rd Brake Light also)......More like your thinking ??
I love the smoked look but i also want Tail's to be BRIGHT thats why i have lightly smoked LED's

 

beautiful truck! I don't think these would make a huge difference but have you thought of smoked fog lights similar to something like this to match the headlights?

To me it looks pretty good, but I think the flares painted yellow will look much better. I just feel it has too much black on it now and is competing with the yellow. Also, the windows are going to all get tinted dark black, so I think that'll be all the black it's gonna need. The Amarillo badge would help balance out the yellow as well.

Are yours the lightly smoked ones then or are they technically the red smoked? I've debated just getting the red smoked ones. I wish I could find some that were like the HD lights - clear lenses with black housings.

Actually, I will probably end up getting fogs with yellow lenses as I'll be switching over to a yellow HID fog.

 

Personally go dmoked recon lightd not black they wint stick iut as much. I agree with you on the flares I thibk those painted yelluw would allow the black everywhere else to be more of an accent rather than a secondary msin color. The 3rd brake light doesnt draw much attention to itself so definitley smoked led. If you go with cab lights eventually stay smoked to keep the theme going, IMO yiu font need them though it looks great without them. They do sell the clear lense black housing tail lights I believe spyder sells them? literally identical to recon but clear lense eith s black housing.

 

So, you guys think something like this for the tails?

08 10 Ford Superduty Series Pickup Truck Red Smoke G2 LED Tail Brake Lights Lamp | eBay

 

Yeap thats exactly what mine look like "Red Smoke"
I just backed tracked my eBay account & thats what it says too ("FORD F250 F350 SUPERDUTY RED SMOKE FULL LED TAIL LIGHTS")
I think they'd look great (plus highly visible) & the Red Smoke will go w/your Red Amarillo Decal

 

The more I look at them he more I'm glad I went with the clear cornered HD headlights. They just seem to match better overall. Also, the 08+ mirrors with the black LED lenses flow great and the chrome mirror caps keeps the Amarillo theme nicely.

I think I'm gonna go with those smoked red LED tails and get the matching 3rd brake light. Also, I'm thinking of just removing the steps at this point as I'm starting to feel they make the truck look lower than it is and I feel like they're clashing bit as well. The flares will get painted to match the body so they go with the Amarillo theme as well. I've been watching Craiglist for the 08+ step tailgate and the 08+ chrome rear bumer too. I think I'll just end up using the truck bed coating on the plastic too.

 

Been getting some inspiration here lately. Too big of wheels, too much chrome, too small of tire:



Too much chrome, tails are gross:



Decent, but not aggressive enough tire for that lift:



Came across this while searching. Super badass, but also 60,000 dollars and sucks because no Ecoboost.



Super nice 6.4 truck minus the fact it has tan interior, ugh.



I think the red tails are gonna be the ticket King. They go really well with the Amarillo sticker and I'll be putting mine back on. I'm not sure if I should go smoked or not, but definitely needs a red tail. The black just doesn't mesh well back there, makes the tail lamp look like a black blob whereas the red ones show up better.
