What appearance upgrades??
Howdy guys,
I am the proud new owner of a 2005 F-350 V10 auto (check gallery) and am wanting to spice it up a bit. I have chrome wheel lip moldings, aluminum toolbox, and bed rails that are not on the pickup yet and won't be until I decide what to do. The options I am considering are to paint the lower accent panels black and add the striping to separate the two colors (just like the Lariat), or to add a smoke gray double pinstripe just below the windows the length of the pickup. The gray would match the 4x4 decal on the back. Which of these do you think would look best? Other ideas? Thanks again FTE!

Goose, both of your ideas sound good. I wanted protection for my rad from bugs and rocks and I like the look of the stock 05 grill so I bought a Lund Grill insert kit that is black perforated lexan glass. It covers the grey honey comb, gives protection and I like the look. I have a pic in my gallery.
I also put a grey plexi glass hood protector on , husky mud flaps, and I put a aluminum checkerplate cover on the front end of my box and a 1/2 thick rubber mat on the bed floor. I am wanting to hook something up to my upfitter switches but not sure what. I like your truck and I see you have CC lights.
Now that the TT mirrors have clearance lights on them , they even look nicer.
I always order CC lights, they are a bargain. I have put them on myself and it is a big job. Enjoy your new Truck. Wrench.
