I know black is a pain to keep clean! I really like the blacked out grill.

I got my aviator with 96,000KM on it and it was 17k canadian for it. It was pretty much fully loaded just without the navigation, and it had the nice captains chairs in the back with a console. As for plans its already got a tune and a magnaflow exhaust, and im working on swapping the supercharger from a 03 cobra onto the 4.6 in the aviator, already have a few of the big parts but there is gonna be alot of little stuff.
