'05 XLT/XLS Explorer Project

**************************************
I'm an Elite Explorer now!
**************************************

Starting this car from Stock and will update pictures as I progress!

:exp: 4.0l V-6, Advance Trac, 4dr, 2x4

**Before Anyone asks, I have a Lifted Dually Cummins and my brother has a 40th anniversary Mustang. So I decided to go with a retro/blacked look, to include Body kit, underglow, interior glow, C02 Dual Valve Purge Kit, Wheel Well glow, Custom painted rims and brake calipers, and a few other small things.

When I order body-kit and get it installed the whole vehicle will be painted Black w/ Purple flake. All lighting will be Purple, Brake Calipers Purple.

I use multiple layers of plasti dip *$6 a can 2 cans* for that Matte black finish that can easily be romved and put back on whenever!! Also using G2 Brake Caliper DIY paint set *40$*

Here's how the Plasti dip looks on my brothers Mustang, and on my old rims on the truck *My new American force semi rims are going on now =)**
