    Aftermarket wheels

    Might consider tinting your headlights also, or at least the amber portion. Smooths out the look of the front end.

    Headlight Amber Lens Tint

    Thanks Steadfast! Was a pain to do but happy with overal result. The wheels are 22x8.5 Falken RT-7M w/ 265/40/22 Falken Ziex tires. Keep in mind this set up is not as wide as the stock 255/50/20 tire/wheel combo. I think I should have at least gone with a 285 width tire. But not sure if that...

    Aftermarket wheels

    Hey Mike! That's exactly the look I was going for with the Falken tires and rim combo.The offset is 35mm. Unfortunately, this wheel only comes in this offset size and bolt pattern. Would have been nice to have the wheels flushed to the fender. Still about an inch to cover the difference...

    Headlight Amber Lens Tint

    Yes, I did use the self stick flexible led lights. Hopefully they don't go out on me anytime soon. Otherwise, gonna have to throw into the oven again!

    Headlight Amber Lens Tint

    Complete! From this (actually the easiest part): To this: Was very labor intensive. Toughest part was baking several times to soften the seal around the edges of the headlight unit, prying open then cleaning the channel of the remaining OEM sealant. But overall happy with...

    Headlight Amber Lens Tint

    I would definitely make them permanent after reinstalling everything. But the one pictured is a trial run. I purchased a used headlight and tested the tint spray. Sprayed it without doing proper prep work on the amber lens. I actually should sand and clean the lens before spraying. Also need to...

    Caliper Covers or Painting/Powder Coating

    Anyone here have experience with these MGP Caliper Covers? I was thinking they might add a little color and a sporty look to the Ex since my calipers do appear to look tiny behind my larger black rim/tire setup. They are kinda pricey for just covers ($230 set of 4)!

    Headlight Amber Lens Tint

    In the process of experimenting with the headlight. Tired of looking at the amber lens and really like the look of the headlights on the Galpin Ford Explorer so I decided to modify the lens myself since I can't find any aftermarket headlights. If sucessful, I will attempt to post the process. I...

    Aftermarket wheels

    Lookin good evasilisin! That's some really low profile tires you got there. Just watch the pot holes. Bent rims are a pain in the ass! You gonna lower when springs become available?

    Aftermarket wheels

    Actually I didn't transfer the old sensors. I purchased new ones. I bought the whole wheel/tire/sensor as a package from Discount Tire Direct. I thought it was alittle strange that I got no warning lights after the swap. No complaints here!
