Reading back a bit you said you were looking for a fx4 radio surround, I never heard of this what do they look like

Just wanted one because they're smooth and already hydrodipped, but still use the standard A/C controls. Makes paint prep a lot easier.

So, should I run paddle mirrors or tow mirrors?

The paddle mirrors are nice since they are smaller, but don't really flow with the body lines.

I say paddle, tow mirrors maybe to big. I have been thinking about fitting some f150 mirrors on mine.

True if they where more square they would flow better. But look at old pics of the "farm truck" that had tow mirrors and see if you like the look.

I like paddles on 6.0's when they're lowered or shorties, but I agree the squareness of the 6.4 body makes them look a little off

I guess I'll have to steal the mirrors off my 6L and see how it looks with tow mirrors.

I'd definitely vote for the paddle mirrors. We switched Tadd's shorty to these, and I thought they look great, and go just fine with the body lines. Most of the pics I have were taken before I installed the mirrors. I did snag this off the web though, and you can kind of see how it looks in relation to everything else. Never mind the grille. It's either a love or hate situation.

That does look good. The indent in the front of the paddle mirrors is about the only other thing that bothers me.

Got around to putting the headliner back in. Ignore the grayness from my flash and the dusty fingerprints LOL.

Need to pick up some 2012 sun visors now though.

Looking great. Be cool when all done. Every time I see a regcab shorty build do want one. That's going to be a fun ride

If you want to get all fancy, I know the excursions had heated power with turn signals in the glass. Maybe others. The ones I did were off my '03 excursion.
