I like the stock headlights better. They are tilted a little from what I can tell. I would recommend getting a Edge model bumper and valance. That way you can color make them to the truck.

Very nice truck! I think you should put the licence plate on the dash. I think that license plates on the front just ruins the look of any vehicle if its custom. Nothing against you I just don't get why that's a law. So you painted it yourself?

I still think a Edge bumper would look better but that is just me.
