I believe we have the same factory color- Green. i have never been a fan and the falt green blends well with the interior areas that are still factory.

I know, you're not the first. I was torn. I like the updated panels but really like the original with the updated front end. I also like the OG light shape, it matched the fender emblems on the 11-16.

what I wish I would have done was added the sheet metal super duty from the truck on doors in the rear which they make a nice 3D heavy duty sticker for but I still think it would look better as a panel but again at some point you get into budget time and other concerns.

You can do just the wheel arch section. I understand about the budget concerns though!

New glass and paint

Looks good in the light

Because 1 500k LED light bar is never enough

Not a great angle but still......
