I wash checking out the marched center console and steering wheel, not the look your after huh? Lol its amazing what people do to cars and trucks. I was lucky with my crew cab the last p.o. had the front end full fluid service front to back. He put in a new stereo and amp and subs thankfully the correct way. It's kind of amusing to sick back and look at what other people have done and wonder wth were they thinking.

Thanks for all the advice guys! I plan on doing a visor and fender flares and a tonneau cover. Im not looking to put in the dumb euro style lights or huge road armor bumpers. I have a nice clean rare truck im proud of. I couldn't really ask for more.

One of the reasons I don't want to modify mine is because it is a Centurion, and they are rare. That is also why I keep the non-functioning old school phone, and 9" TV in it.

Fender Flares? WHY, the tires do Not stick out beyond the body.

Mine didn't have them, and I've seen at least a dozen other F150s that didn't have them.

I think flares look goofy on a truck with tires that don't extend past the fenders. However, it looks like this particular truck has 35s or 33s. In either case, aftermarket wheels with less backspacing would fit the tire better, and give it a wider stance. They'd also make the tires stick out further, and make flares look non-goofy.

I have flares on the front of mine, and of course, the rear ones to cover the dual rear wheels, but I think the fronts were part of the Centurion package.

Your front flares are part of theConversion, the rears are dually Fenders

Personally one of the reasons I have flares on my F150 is because it keeps a lot of the dirt and rocks from messing up my paint once it is laid down. Plus in my opinion they look awesome.

But crew cabs on the other hand just look wrong unless they are a dually.

Started on my L.E.D. retro fit. Thanks to Evan P I've looked at your cluster and it looks awesome I tried removing the green on my heater controls first and kind of botched it so I went with blue leds for the dash and gages and white lights for the cab interior. It cost me more in shipping than it did for the damn light bulbs pretty pleased so far. So next on the agenda is bulbs for the running lights tail brake and can lights with clear lenses.

Thanks Night eyez. I wish I had my grey interior so it doesn't look so blue. My next project is to see if I can wire the map lights to come on with the dome lights I want more light inside.
