Okay so it's time to make my obs look good. I need ideas and opinions on what you think would look good!

Lights-clear with hids
Bumper- stock or aftermarket?
Hood- cowl or stock?
Grille-stock or billet?
Wheels-17 or18 black or shiny?
Rear bumper- chrome or paint stock?
Wheel trim- none or black or new stainless

Looks fine man, just take it all apart and repaint it if anything. And you'll feel like you got a new truck

You can get the cab light wire harness from Ford for $15-25. And find a Truck in a junkyard with cab lights still on it. It dont have to be a 94-97. Im pretty sure they used the same cab light clear back in the late 70's.

Yes LMC gas both clear and Amber with both Incondecent bulbs and LED's.

Like I said before stay away from Recon. My buddy has Recon Cab lites on his 00 7.3, they got little crack lines in them from I guess the cold and moisture all in them.

Bryan get your lights from paul at cp they look the best on our trucks honestly

Yeah I would go with Paul At CP. You could get damn near the same light that Paul has on Ebay. But its prolly more expensive. Or cheaper built. Plus its just way better dealing with Paul(an OBS guy through and through) then Ebay.

Do it. Hell Ive only bought one thing from him so far and he gave me really good service. I have many future plans, like a clutch and Stancor GPR.

Don't know if it was mentioned yet but I would do aluminum bed caps and polish them the headache rack, toolbox, and your steps to a mirror finish. If you are looking to go with 37's I would get some nice chrome or black w/chrome 20's.
