Added some lightning blue accents… what do you think?

Wanted to add a little blue to my truck without going overboard. Kept it subtle, but I think it adds a nice touch!

I like the blue accents!

Thanks! Trying to keep it subtle.

Small changes like this really add character! Love it.

I’m still deciding between one of these or a Rivian. Planning to test drive one this weekend—super excited!

The acceleration is crazy!

The biggest difference is size. I liked the R1T, but the F-150’s full-size cab sealed the deal for me. Also, my closest Rivian service center is an hour away, so that was a factor too.

Yeah, it’s massive. I suck at parking it, so I just park far and walk. :joy:

@Palmer
That’s a big thing for me too—I have two 50lb dogs, so more space is better!

Yep, I’ve got an 80lb dog, a 3.5-year-old, and another kid on the way. Short of spending $200k on an Escalade IQ (which didn’t exist back then), the EV9 was the only other real option.

Are those replacement tow hooks or just covers? Either way, got a link?

I got them on Etsy:

The lightning blue is slightly darker than Ford’s blue, but the seller also sent me a set of flex covers, and that blue matched perfectly. Really nice guy—I highly recommend him!

He also gave me a coupon code: COMEBACK23TU12

I 3D printed a set in a color that matches Lightning Blue better. Really happy with them.

I used this model: https://makerworld.com/models/944390

Inland Matte Blue was a perfect match.

I couldn’t use ASA, so I went with ATARAXIA Sky Blue in PETG instead. Looks great! Haven’t compared it directly to the badges, but from a distance, you can’t tell the difference.

PETG will hold up just fine!

+5 HP? :laughing:

More like 4.5. :joy:

Love it! I’ve been wanting to add accents like this too. Where did you get the blue around the Ford logo?

@Bali
Nice! Does the gray match the grille pretty well? I’ve got an Avalanche-colored truck but just want that blue outline like yours.
