Yep it's an old lariat an 06' model(not really that old I know). I got the door handles from the dealer ship just call them with your paint code I think they were like $40-$50 each. I changed all 4 in about an hour. The hardest part is taking off the door panel and the first one was the hardest and it took like 8 min to figure it out. I posted in another forum in the "items wanted" section for some Harley headlights and like 2 days later I got a response form a guy in kentucky. He shipped the headlights to me brand new in the orginal ford parts box and then trusted me enough to mail him a check for the lights and packaging and shipping charge. It was a pretty sweet deal and we had mutual trust after a phone conversation.

Yea believe me I know all about mod fever. I have raked out some serious coin in the last 6mths. The lights look good. I am thinking about either tinting mine or they make like a mesh paint to match your truck paint color so you really can't even tell that you have lights untill you either turn on the lights or hit the brakes. I will find some info on it a let you know in a PM. Since we have seriously Hi-jacked the crap out of this poor thread.

With my experiance with "Black Chrome" most platers will not black chrome exhaust pipes, I'm told they just do not hold up to the heat. With that said I've been researching alternitives to this......I have a distributor in Caly, that has had his stacks powder coated. So far that has worked...but he is running twin turbo's on his Dodge, and that helps keep the EGT's down. I think the best way to do this is to have the stacks ceramic coated. Jet hot can do a black ceramic coating, and would last an extremely long time. Now there is other companies out there selling "Black Chrome" stack kits, actually these are Smoked Stainless, but give the look everyone is wanting. This is also an option for you! I hope this helps you out, and hope to see some stacks on that truck of yours!!

Ceramic....Hmmmm I heard of this but I don't know anyone who has them. How long has your friend had his powdercoated? I don't drive my truck that much and when I do I take it easy. I don't think eget's with be a issue.With my experiance with "Black Chrome" most platers will not black chrome exhaust pipes, I'm told they just do not hold up to the heat.

Ceramic would be something you'd have to have done to them. No-one to my knowledge actually has these stocked. You could buy a raw set of stacks from one of my distributors, then contact someone like JET HOTT that does ceramic coatings. As for the Powder coating, he's had his done for almost a year now, and they still look good.
