Do it up right, man. I think you are on the right path, I pretty much hate everything that's not kind of understated.

I should mention that I really don't like the look of most of the front ends of the new pickups, but yours looks really damned good.

the front end is what made me pull the trigger

I wasn't a ford guy either. Test drove a dodge 1500 laramie with 5.7 hemi before the Ford and I was surprisingly more impressed with the f150.

Anyone else here have a 3.5 ecoboost? or does anyone have any experience with putting a tuner on them?

Friend of mine has had one for a couple years now. Likes it a lot. Pulls some trailers and does work with it, rather than just piddle with it.

No experience on a tuner.

Maybe its the new 16s, but they have a lot of body color on the grill with really squatty headlights, and then chrome grill. It looks disjointed and dumb.

Yours though, looks excellent.

Gas Monkey dudes did this to an old ford pickup....and during the show I thought it was just the dumbest thing.....until they were done with it.
brand new interior....tranny....motor....fast as hell....but outside looking...well....patina-ed. I actually thought it was pretty damn cool. and yours has even more.....you know....patina! lol
