VTBulldog, thank you sir. I really like the full blacked out front on my truck. Looks like that's the route I will be going. Also, your skills are very impressive.

Thanks.
I'm not sure about all the combinations, but I know the basic Lariat package without the Chrome option will give you the painted mirror side caps. That is exactly what I wanted and why I ordered the lariat without the Chrome option. I think you can also get a king ranch with painted side caps but again you have to leave the Chrome option package off. Hth

Fantastic! That's just how I'm planning to order mine. Lariat, No chrome package.

VTBulldog, These look awesome

When you have time, would you please do 2 more for me? I'm having hell trying to decide.

One completely blacked out, including the blue in the emblem; and the other with the 2 big chrome bars color matched, and the top and bottom small bars and the blue in the emblem in black?

Good luck picking one, and don't tell your wife I'm helping you spend money

Damn.... I really like the solid black. Think i might replace all the chrome with Ignot silver, and all the Blue with Black to help tie everything in. Thanks for getting that knocked out so fast.

I thought the chrome was a little too much also, coming from an F-150 FX4 with zero chrome. Had to do something, so Blue Jeans spray it would be...

Caribou conversion

I also did not care for the Chrome so I converted the Caribou 4 trim pieces on the grill to Silver and then I change the Chrome bars to Caribou. I'm not sure if I'm a fan quite yet. Tell me your opinion or give me some advice on what I should do. Thanks for your help.

Actually, that looks pretty good, too. The silver small bars carries the lines between the headlights. Probably the only thing I'd do different is use chrome small bars versus silver paint ... just for that extra bit of bling to match the headlights. I see you also swapped out the front hubcaps.

Thank you, I've tried sourcing the 4 Chrome bars, I just can't locate them without buying the whole grill. But yes you're correct it they need to be Chrome, the silver doesn't give the pop I was looking for. Sorry if I'm responding incorrectly, I'm not familiar with sending responses and the postings process. Thank for you for the chrome advise.
