Gone Blackout?

Has anyone gone blackout? black mirriors, bumpers, grill, headlights, rings, etc? And if so, can I see on your truck?!?

I've been throwing around blacking out the Flareside, just wanted to see someone eles' first.

I was thinking stuff like this-
Grill
1992 1993 1994 FORD F350 PICKUP BLACK GRILLE HEADLIGHT: eBay Motors (item 170288036778 end time Aug-09-10 00:15:06 PDT)
Mirriors
93 94-96 Ford F150 Lightning Truck Blk Power Mirror Set: eBay Motors (item 130400531091 end time Aug-13-10 10:41:13 PDT)
Bumper
BUMPER ford F-150 part 96 95 94 93 92 1992 1993 1994: eBay Motors (item 370405084287 end time Aug-05-10 05:41:16 PDT)

Or maybe just painting my stuff. Has anyone heard of Black Chrome?

Check out these links, just got the truck done. Its not totally blacked out but you get the idea. You could try LMC truck for the roll pan.

I like! I think it would look great if you replaced the amber turn signals with clear ones...

I came across this truck awhile back and thought it looked pretty cool so I saved the link.

That's the closest to blackout I have seen but I think it looks pretty good with the little bit of chrome it has. Let me know what you think

Nevermind about the wheel question; did a search, and got a few pictures. Basically what I was looking for.

I like the blacked out look like the Nite edition trucks and Lightnings, but not the ricer blacked out lights.

Ebay sometimes has them. I like the frosted clear lights that match the headlights. I don't really care for the crystal clear ones. LMC used to have them, but they don't anymore. An Aussie memeber of our forum found some here.

Nothing for the '92-'96 front markers, that I saw. Maybe someone knows where to find the smoke covers?
