Yeah , I get to hang with the cool folk now hunh ?
I'll post some pix as soon as I can figure out how.
I don't have the most vast knowledge of computers.
Either way my Ex is rather ordinary lookin' ( right now )
Other than the fact it ( for the most part ) remains completely spotless. I do wax my door jambs.

Congrats, welcome aboard and thanks for supporting the site!

Are you serious? :D

you need a higher quality digicam!

its all splochy looking...

don't be too quick to blame the camera.
All the pics here on my computer look fantastic.

I am not too sure why they are all blochy, maybe something got a little funkey in the upload or in switching the format.

I don't know what I am doing,,,,,

Great looking Sport as always. I couldn't really make out the scoops in your thread the other day, but these photos really show them off. Sweet. I'm still going to steal those wheels/tires next time I'm in MD.

celly (only trip to MD was sitting in airport during stopover from Laguardia->Bermuda)

shoot man I am like five mineuts from Baltimore Washington International Air Port
( BWI ) I could have come by and kept you company

Love the new scoops! Definitely one of my favorite X's on this site.

That was about 9 years ago when I lived over on the island. It's been a while since I was in the NE. Did NYC on a job interview in early '97. Just missed out on working there but decided to move home instead. It was that trip to the Apple where I was laid over for a short while.

Maybe next time. ;)

Oops forgot the engine shots

Looks great. The scoops look even better in these pics than they do in your write-up thread. :thumbsup:

Damn, you do some nice work! :thumbsup:
And that sub is freaking HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

nice sport you got there monmix

by the way what color are your fog lights when you turn them on

Nice looking truck, i love the black. If you went with aset of black rims i think that would look really sweet. :cool: Good job on the hood scoops, too. Did you ever have any problem with water getting into the engine bay?

I dunno. His rims are pretty sweet as it is.

really, really, really friggin' white.
I really cant say for sure though, looking into them each thime thus far has caused temporary blindness ( good thing I have them down so low :) )

Ya know I acutally have thought about black rims on there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Water under the hood really has not been an issue other than it pushes the dirt from the hood liner onto the motor.
I see this delema possibly getting worse and I may need to brain storm,,,,
I dunno we will see I guess.

The sub is an 18 inch.

You could use a little flat black rustoleum the cobra R's!
I'm kidding, I'm kidding! :D
That would be beyond sacrilege. :eek:
Now maybe a powdercoated black on the cobra R's.
That may work, but really, do you want to mess with perfection?

your explorer makes me want to sell my explorer and go for the street look, but that will never happen, looks awesome though, keep up the great work

oh that Zorro is so fly! love love loveee this truck! :thumbsup: the hood turned out awesome....def one of a kind u got there Kev...

are those the rims and tires from explorer express?

I dunno, I got them used from X24 who used to hang out here.

They are the same though.

So, yes they are but I dont know if that is where they came from.

Did I confuse you ?

still more of Zorro

Are those shots from the Glen Burnie Court house? :p I've been up there before but for parking to go to court not taking nice pictures

yeah, I liked the lots of white against the black truck, and the flag at the dealership was a nice touch. Not an overly busy or cluttered back ground to detract attention from the subject.

Hotter than blazez that day too.

Kevin, what did you put in your lower grill opening? Looks great.

As much as I hate to admit it here.
The grille backing both in my bumper and behind my grille is from a Chevy Silverado SS.

Cut, paint, zip tie.

Thanks again for all the kind remarks people. I take it in the highest reguard from this crowd.

Here is the latest. A dual pillar pod with an Auto-Meter water temp and Auto-Meter oil pressure.

Supercharger? or drop a 5.0 in that beast ha :P That paint is looking good nice and shiny.

I think he meant it looked almost new and doesn't look like a 7+ year old paint job. I could be wrong tho. On another note I drove by Elite on my way to work today I never knew where it was but I happened to be on Rt3 going to i-97 and was like "Hey thats where MONMIX works" ha I'm such a dork.

SUV looks amazing tho.

that is what I meant-yes. :D

Oh !!!! Thanks
only the doors and the fenders and roof have origonal paint now.

Thanks for the compliments people !!!!

Amazing explorer! I envy you.
I am curious as to how you got those wheels in white... I've looked for them and I can't seem to find them. Found the wheels, not the color, basically. I know you said you bought them used but if anyone else has an idea of this I'd be very interested to know it.
Oh and what's the part number on that Lund Wing?

Black Wheels.

They are not white. They are silver. Search for a guy here IAMTODD, he has a white Ex with white Saleen whels ( looks so sweet it will make you sick )
I have no idea what the part number on the Lund wing is. I got it from Explorer Express.com

MONMIX

Where did you get those hood scoops from or made or did you make them and how...???

Plus those scoops are not cut all the way through your fabric under the hood...why not???

The hood scoops are from a 1988 Thunderbird SC.

Here is the write up
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136802&highlight=rasin+bran

I chose to not cut the hood liner in an attempt to keep the engine bay clean. The scoops were intended to be cosmetic only. I never saught ( sp? ) performance gains from the scoops.

Okay I see what you mean about the wheels... and yes those white ones are unbelievable. I wonder where he got them?
I can't find the Lund Wing on explorer express...

he got them used from some one here.
PM him I am sure he will help you out. He is a real nice guy.

Oops forgot the engine shots
