I was washing my truck today and I noticed there are a few places on the ground effects where the ribs have loosed.
Has anyone noticed this on their trucks?
One place by the exhaust and other is right by the driver's door. My guess is from entering and exiting the truck, previous owner may have kicked it a few times combined w/ road vibration.
Anyway, I'll be looking to replace those 2 pieces as they become worse.
Anyone know a good body shop?

Thanks,

Thanks,You can buy the pieces you need allready painted from the Ford dealership. I think the one around the exhaust and beside the door is $85 and the one under the door is $165 unless you have a hookup.:tu:

It is an American vehicle and is sloppy in build quality. The body kit on Lightnings is an add-on for F150's. They just stick them on the truck with plastic pushy pins. They loosen over time and the front quarters wobble a LOT. You can make sure the plastic pushey pins are well seated and maybe add a self tapping screw here and there for a tighter fit:tu:
