I didn't like the silver valance and the fact Ford deleted the front tow hooks.

Believe it or not, I just sprayed plastidip right over the sensors. I wasn’t sure it would work but I figured the plastidip was easy to remove if need be. Turned out that it did not effect the sensors at all. Still have full use of my parking assist, ACC, etc.
Good deal. what brand of plastidip did you use?
thanks

Looks good Joe. The tow hooks were not deleted. They come only on the 4x4 models. I agree on the silver valance. First change i made when i got mine was to plastidip it black. 2 years later and still looks good.

I guess I'm different. I like the look of the silver and think it dresses things up. Otherwise it's a whole lot of stuff going on but kinda drab in black. Then again, I'm the same guy who painted the keyholes black because I didn't like the chrome. That's what's cool about our trucks.....we can all tailor them to our individual tastes.

Beautiful, where did you get the hood stripes? I just got my Oxford White Ranger and I am starting to dress it.

I traded in my 2019 for a 2021 after the dealer offered me more than I paid. I really didn't like the silver valance so I picked up a newone and sprayed it with Raptor truck bedliner. I think it turned out pretty good. Still waiting for the tow hook bolts and rubber inserts.

Once I get the bolts to finish.

Nice, My 21 came with the Tow hooks, but i replaced them with proper recovery points.. My truck does not have the lower hex grill shown in your picture. that is just open space on mine

What is a "proper recovery point"?

well the Ford ones are really tow/trailer tie down points, they are not rated for recovery loads.
I have ARB recovery points on mine, they fit in the stock locations and don't mess up the factory skid plates, rated sever times higher, especially for off axis pulls

I guess we don’t get that stuck out here. Factory tow hooks have proven to be more then sufficient in many a proper recovery.
