As for the faded plastic, I'm in the process of getting a 4wd valence with fog lights. I'm looking in to a bed cap as well. Should look something like this
I'd go with all the chrome trim blacked out, and since you're keeping the chrome center caps I'd go for black PPV looking black rims w/the chrome center caps.

I have a second ranger that we use as a ranch truck in old man tan, it looks pretty good with all the chrome blacked out.

I like the valence and cap. I'm curious to see a gold ranger with clear corners, but I'm in no position atm to get some myself.

I've also considered these before:

Yeah, once I have enough money to throw at things like that I'll mess with it, but I'll just watch others until then lol.

yeah I'm just trying to hold off on mods until I get the v8 in. I don't need the valence or cap yet. It might be nice for the winter but so will having a v8 through the fall winter spring and summer for the next couple years of ownership.

Lol nice photoshop job! But I personally don't like the clear lights on Rangers, just something about them I don't like.

I'm still on the fence. I ordered new headlight housings that should throw HID light out better, they come with clear signals but I'll decide then whether I like them or not
