My 2013 Limited with modifications

[txaggie]

brought this over from the newbie thread, thought it would get more play over here:

Howdy everyone. My truck is a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited in Green Gem Metallic. From the factory it had package 301A, Towing package, dual moonroof, and the 20" polished wheels.

Never content with stock, I added the following within the first week:

20" TSW Brooklands in matte black (stock tires)
Tint - 5% on the sides and back (absolutely necessary in Texas )
Splash Guards (factory)
Rear bumper protector (factory)
Weathertech matts (all rows)

Here are some pictures:

Looking forward to learning about my new truck here!

Thanks - Deron

Sweet ride, like the green.

You need to look at getting a matched shark fin antenna now and pull off the ugly OEM. Nice look!!

 

[Joe Dirt]

Very nice! Another green gem Ex in the mix...

Nice rims. Good pick!

LOVE the wheels!

Welcome txaggie! Nice ride! I like the rims! Much nicer than the polished blade looking ones. We are waiting on a Green Gem XLT from the factory so your pics are like a nice little appetizer! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your Ex!

Thanks guys!! I really like the green color, most people think it is black until they look closer. I had a 1999 Contour SVT in that color.

Actually it does look black. Even in some angles in daylight it looks black.

Thanks Bubz, those are the factory flaps. I really liked the look they offered.

Looks nice... Saw a green EX for the first time the other day and thought it was black for a few seconds.

More importantly, with the 5% tint, at night does EVERYTHING outside look like black?

Haha!! Yes, everything does look dark. At night it really isn't that bad. The worst time is dusk before everyone has starting turning on their headlights, that's when I have to be more careful.
