Ordered 4 of those today. Leveling kit might be here tomorrow. If so, level it this weekend, and tires go on Monday.

Turned over 100 miles today. Does that mean she’s broken in like the GT500? That big ass 760 hp engine only needs 100 miles to break it in.

Finally, got around to wrapping the door/tailgate handles and front Ford logo to match the truck. Also put some decals down for the sill plate just to prevent them from scratching up.

Still working through this thread, and you may have answered already, but what did you use to wrap the handles? And are you happy with it? I've got the chrome package but really like the BAP, so I'm working on blacking out all the chrome, DIY.

I've thought about Plastidip, but not sure how long that would last on the handles.

The badges turned out pretty good, though, until I got a run on my final coat. Bah!

Finally got my Shrockworks Rock Sliders installed today as well. Look like they were meant to be there.

I opted for no top plate though. Haven't drilled the hole yet, leaving that for another day.

Looks good!

Gotta say, I really like the blacked out steelie and beefy tire combo on your truck. Looks rugged.

Just put a tailgate damper on and finally put my dash letters in. Those little boogers suck, good thing they give you extras.

This looks great! Working on doing this myself.

What color Plastidip is that and did you use glossifier? I'd love to see a pic of the grill also.

I just used some gloss black vinyl i found on ebay and used a heat gun to help stretch it and wrap it around the door handles. It's kind of a pain and doesn't come out perfect (unless you are just really good at wrapping with vinyl), but it still looks better than the stock dull black handles.
