Got a 2004 F150 I'd like to black my tail lights out and change out my radio..
Question number 1.... Order new lens or just black out myself?
2.. Looking at a Boss touch screen deck.. what kind do you have installed?

These are the only 2 things Id prefer to add.. maybe HID lights later.. feel free to post your own pics too.

If you want a system and plan to make a trip to Houston go to King Kong electronics on Harwin St You can get some awesome deals there.... they will smoke these jokers in lake Charles on price. Here's their number 713-784-9714, its worth a call least

When I got my Ford it had the Sony touchscreen navigation installed already. If you going to do it up with a touchscreen go ahead and get the navigation also. Well worth the money.

Tailights keep folks from runnin' into you, the last thing you need to do is make them any darker !!! (probably e-legal as well, why ask for trouble ?)

Nice aftermarket stereo's get stolen at boat launches, you know this :rolleyes: ....

You have a clean looking truck, sock that cash away !!!

X2! I never did anything fancy to my vehicles, but my friends have and they all regret it. They would like to get that cheese back now. It's just a phase, I believe.

I used to work at advanced audio, boss is junk. Eclipse is good but i believe they went out of business. The lower end pioneers are ok if youre not gonna run multiple amps as most only have one rca out. I would look into clarion, pioneer (higher end) and kenwood

Pioneer hands down best Double Din for the money, I had my previous pioneer DD since 08 and had to replace it because I shattered the screen by accident (anger influenced lol) but other than the cracked screen never had one problem

Whatever you do dont buy any lights from ebay. All of the lights I got off of there for my 05 ford leaked water in them . Darn near went broke buying bulbs cause they would get wet and blow .
I say leave it just like u got it .

all this stuff is a phase, just keep it super clean and get some good quality door speakers and CD player you'll be set! as far as the tail lights, the black spay looks like crap! the after market tail lights are over priced, I wouldn't change the tail lights I'd put a HID light kit in!

If you go HID's get the good ones with a lifetime warenty the first time. I have been through two sets of cheap ones already and I finally gave up on them.

Buy HIDs from spencershids.com
All Phillips bulbs and ballast mine lasted me 4-5 years and finally a bulb burnt
The headlight housing on any aftermarket light suck at sealing I have had aftermarket ones but silicone them as soon as they come out the box and no problems!
