They are already working on a way to "Mask" tunes to fool that 167f. A smoke tune may be out of the question though as it would clog the DPF rather quickly causing way to frequent regeneration cycles.

I personally don`t care for the nose, the headlights look bulky and upside down like Kwik said. The regulation bumper height dictates that bad Japanese Tonka toy Knock- off look. Maybe I will grow to like her face if her personality is worthy!!

I still dont know what to think about the new SD. The 250 I am not a big fan of, the 450 has that burly look to it I dont know though. Maybe when I see both a 250 and 450 with a nice lift and rim and tire combo then I might change my mind. Until then I am gonna stick with my current set up. Not quite sure what to think about the 6.4 either. I have a feeling it is going to be tougher to open it up performance wise. Just my .02 cents

When I first saw spy photos sometime last year, I was disappointed with the front end. But the look has grown on me, I like it. The upside down headlight does look funky but it places the light beam lower so you don't blind oncoming cars or the smaller car ahead of you at night.

The passenger exit dual tailpipes still looks funny though

It sux, I think they lost alot of flash on that front bumper, straight and blah no flare. Oh we'll maybe next redesign, I just dont like it, maybe it will grow on me.
Lets see, With that Front Bumper it will be easier to make a Front Winch Bumper, At least one that looks good. WARN You hear that!! Your 99/07 winch bumpers look like crap!!

Alright so I am in the store today at the magazine section while the wife is shopping. I grab the new Diesel Power and behold is an 08 Super Duty LIFTED with a nice tire/rim combo. It looks pretty good considering this is probably going to be a show/advertisement truck, but they are supposed to look good right.. I was looking at the headlights again and I figured out what turned me off about them it is the amber lenses in the middle if they were clear then I think it would look fine. I guess it is starting to grow on me. Maybe a little more once I see one on the road.

Yes i agree. Change that grille to the one like in the FX4 package truck, that red supercab truck in that same gallery. Then other than the headlights, it looks pretty good. That grill is just to "smooth" looking for me.

I think I agree. Something like this would look better, IMO:

Youre still missing the smoke, Jeremy. That looks great, did you do that in Photoshop? Just copy the top half of the headlight and paste it where the orange was?

Man, the more I look at it, the more that bumper looks like a joke. You couldn't even hit a wiener dog without ruining that. I know ours aren't much better but that looks really weak.

I did use Photoshop. It's actually the rubber stamp tool, but basically the same as cut and paste. That is just the top half of the headlight. I'll let you take care of the smoke.

I agree 100%. I love that grille though. I think it is just that fact that it says "Super Duty" on it that does it.

The fender emblems with the air intakes look they are functional. I wonder if I could get a pair to put some cold air into my engine compartment. Waddya think, are they too far back?
