Opinions wanted

Hey guys so I have been debating doing ouple of things to my Super duty to improve the truck, basically just looks wise. I want to get an exhaust system at some point as well. I have a couple pics uploaded in my album of the truck anything you guys think that may add to the trucks looks? Currently I am thinking about removing the lund lunar visor and going with a set of cab lights. Would love to hear your guys opinions on that and anything else. Thanks.

I couldn't view your pictures? Without looking at it as far as the visor - I think they make a truck look 1980's. You will love the cab lights once you get them installed. I personally like the factory truck looks myself, so I'm not much into bolting, sticking, clipping things to my truck. Just a personally preference. Everyone like different things.

Here's a few options that are nice to have. Not all are exterior upgrades.
1. Cab Lights
2. Navigation/DVD Radio - best money I ever spent.
3. 20" Wheels - 2nd best option, couldn't live without
4. Tinted windows - not too dark
5. Bucket seats with a floor console.

Have fun with it!

Are you going to put stock cab lights or aftermarket led?

No visor or cab lights! Keep it as clean as possible. I say remove anything that can be removed...

I don't know anything about your truck, but for the most part...

Harley lights, painting stuff to match, such as bumpers, door handles, grille....

Removing pin stripes, smoked cab, mirror, and tail lights...

I think if you go under view public profile and then click on albums it should come up it works for me if I go to do that for other peoples. As far as cab lights go I would just install the factory ones. what kind of holes would I have left in my cab after removing the visor and how would I go about fixing it. If you guys still cant see them and there a way to post them directly on to here if you tell me how I will....thanks.

Yeah, if you like paying 2x as much for tires. Put a nice street-agressive AT on what you have. Dont upgrade the wheels unless it's for a factory set, but I'd keep what you have

as far as the truck goes its already pretty trick I guess I was just looking for any improvments looks wise which was why I was thinking of going with the cab lights and taking off the visor just to make the truck look better from all angles.

The truck is too much white. I can't put my finger on it but it is missing some contrast that could make it more interesting.

Your truck looks awesome. The ONLY thing I could add to it would be a paint to match Harley Grille with the insert still chrome! LMC truck has paintable ones for a fair price!

I guess I'm just used to midwest cars with the two tone color scheme.... paint up top and rust on bottom.

Nice looking truck. A little contrast on the sides (chrome door handles? body side molding?) and IMO remove the visor. Doesn't need much.

So you guys feel that the truck would look better without the the visor? Thats what I think too. I would wanna install cab lights though because I like that look of the truck all lit up at night. I have thought about getting a custom exhaust and running it out in front of the back tire but kinda hiding it in there...You guys like the bull bar or no?
