I feel like your truck is in between paint match and chrome, you have to adopt one or the other. On dark paint you need some chrome to provide a pop of contrast. I would say paint match grille while leaving small chrome accents and then paint match tailgate then switch back to chrome mirror caps. Feather in chrome in small sections. Then pick a bold wheel, I would say bronze, it just pops. With a touch of offset and meat on the tires the truck will look mean!

Also what is up with your side badges they look dull?
Went plastidip initially just to see if I liked it, ended up getting them painted

Agree, I think I'm going to continue taking chrome out and debating bronze wheels or powder coating what I've got. I've wasted a few bucks already lol

I believe you have too many conflicting blacks and silver/ chromes with FX4 sticker mixed causing the not quite right feeling. I would finish out the black appearance package, reference: (https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/m-f150-or20.html). They also sell ford performance 22’s if you was to be different (https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/m-1007k-s2295gb.html). If you paint or replace the brake calipers with red it all will tie it in. To 4 colors being black dull, black gloss, chrome, and red. The contrast will give it a smooth tough business look. I am work my way on mine with my colors being white, black, and grey from sport appearances package.
I'm already halfway there but if I was starting from scratch, that package is actually a really, really good deal for what it includes!

Appreciate all the feedback! Have gotten most of the chrome out and switched out to the Roush coilover kit to get it a bit more leveled. Debating chrome wheels or powder coating what I have but would like to get some more offset on the wheels. Also want to switch to the BAP Fx4 stickers.

I generally dislike fender flares but the R1 Rough Country actually look really good, may add those too

Next is Borla, Roush CAI, intercooler etc.!
