Just paint the tips you have now. I painted my stainless tips black. And the best part is you can always repaint them and make them look new again.

Recon is some of the best LED tails made. They are expensive, yes, but the quality is amazing. Even the LED layout and brightness was superior on mine than the Ebay ones. I had everyone in the county wanting mine, and eventually I sold them after over a year for $100 bucks and the guy was glad to get them.
Also, how would those black strips on your doors look painted maroon? I know thats fords trademark but its worth a photoshop to see.
As far as PTM the small stuff, got anyone in mind? I'm currently having Carolinaboy's 4 door handles and tailgate handle painted by my painter. Jeff (CarolinaBoy) shipped them to me via flat rate box, and I either smooth them myself and have the painter paint, or have the painter smooth and paint them. It works out even better because my painter just so happens to work at a Ford dealership, so paint can be perfectly matched.
Obviously bumpers would be hard to ship, but things like mirrors and handles and interior pieces and all that, can be done.
I realize you are in PA and I in Texas, but when you get ready shoot me a PM and I can get some prices, and we can figure out shipping.
Hmm interesting. I was going to have a local painter, or the dealership do them. Depending on the price quote I may be tempted. If my mirror caps are removable 2 piece I would try tossing those in as well.
I was considering painting myself with OE code paint and HQ clear and proper techniques, but I would rather not invest all of that time though. For once I would prefer to pay for it to be done so all I need to do is install.
If you want, PM me an estimated price quote, i'll call the local shop and get a quote from them and can compare. If the ship costs a little more I still wouldn't mind your business and help

My tips are quite trashed, and already welded on. Dont know if I would want them powder coated or not. They are tar and rubber coated haha. The passenger side one is bent a bit from my g/fs F up too.

I'll get a price to paint the door handles, tailgate handles and the mirror caps. Whats the color code?
I like the plans.
I like the keyless push button handles that Ford has had for years. I can't figure out why other auto makers haven't come out with something similar. I have always thought it was a good idea.
