Is there a market for used cladding? Mine is in pretty good shape, some small scratches from some random bushes in the woods, but definitely reusable? How do folks unload these things? Ebay, classifieds here on FTE, or ??? Going price? Anyone want mine?

I do like what I can see of the front bumper...can you post another (better... 
) picture of it?
Also, what size shoes and soles does yours have? It looks like you went bigger than stock.
Did they effect the MPG positive or negatively? I just put 305/70/16E's on mine, kinda curious what to expect...

The front bumper replacement is a Ranch Hand off a 08-09 SuperDuty. I had the brackets cut off and re=aligned to fit the Ex.
My tires are 305/70r-16. I get 11.5 city and 13.5 hwy. I like the larger stance.

It's too soon for me to tell on the MPG with the bigger shoes...I need to track it with the GPS to be sure since the speedo and the odo are now all messed up with the bigger tires...

If you have the 2 tone running boards or color integrated into your bumper then I guess you are stuck but if you can shed it then for sure - No Clad, not on a truck. Cladding reminds me of those stick on nonfunctional hood scoops and gold mfg and trim pkg emblems - TACKY.

I'm new here (lurking for a while though 
) so take it easy on me guys.
I like the clading on my 04 Limited in monotone black. Others I've seen in two tone not so much. It breaks up the body and adds more lines to the massive expanse of sheet metal on the truck. Truth is I never saw an Ex that I didn't like.
