20' Platinum Blackout Progress - Thoughts?





Looks great! I’m in the middle of doing a chrome delete myself.

What size wheels and tires are you running? Do they sit flush or stick out a bit?

285/75r18, and I think the offset is +12. Keeps them nice and flush—not sticking out or sitting too far in.

That’s a clean look, love it.

Where’d you get your grill?

Picked it up on eBay.

I just need to do my door handles and window trim, and I’m done. Did you handle the door handles yourself or get them done somewhere?

Did them myself! Used Avery satin white pearl vinyl I found on Amazon. Matched perfectly thanks to a forum recommendation.

That’s awesome! I’ll have to try it and see if I can find my silver.

Go for it! I paid about $15 for a 1x5’ strip—more than enough. Alternatively, you could rattle can them pretty easily. The handles pop off in seconds without tools.

I’ve been thinking about replacing my driver’s side handle with a rear one to get rid of the key tumbler and prevent break-ins. It happened with my last truck. But those smart key buttons would need to be dremeled out. I’ll give the vinyl a try for that price, though!

I like that gray FX4 decal. Some folks prefer no decals, but I think the FX4 badge adds a nice touch.

I agree. Without it, the space looks too empty. The blackout version looks clean without being over the top.

@Galen
Totally! I’ve got a 2019 Ranger, and they only come with the red FX4 badge. I swapped it for a blue F-150 FX4 decal, and it looks much better.

How’d you black out your side mirrors?

Bought black caps on Amazon. The old ones just pop off.

The previous owner painted over the chrome on mine, and now it’s peeling. I picked up some mirror caps too but haven’t installed them yet. Got the carbon fiber black—wasn’t sure if I wanted shiny black. How do you like yours?

@Briar
I love them. They fit perfectly and look like OEM.

Those badges are gray, not black. They have fully black ones, by the way. Ask me how I know. :wink:
