    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    How did you cut out for the key pad? Another thought. If you precut these I think explorer owners would buy them from you. I would. I can't fins any precut online.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Very nice. The shiny black shows finger prints. Did this come in a kit or did you cut it your self? About how long did this take you. Was it hard to cut the pieces to fit? Could you show everyone the procedure? I'm sure a lot of people will want to do this.

    Post Your White Explorers!

    What have they done to the fog lights? I like my 17 lights. When I turn a corner on a dark street, it lights up the side. It still looks like it might light up the side. I really like the grille.

    5th Gen Explorer With LED Light Bar

    Has anyone put a led light bar on a2016/17 explorer? I want to put one on mine, but don't want to take the grille out. The shutters block a way to run the wire in front of the radiator.

    U.S. Expands Probe Into Ford Explorers Over Carbon Monoxide Concerns

    Sorry, I couldn't find the video. It was a national news station. It showed the cracks not far from the engine and on top of the pipe. He had a flex video camera that went on top of the pipe Maybe someone else can find it. If I see it again I will write down who it was.

    U.S. Expands Probe Into Ford Explorers Over Carbon Monoxide Concerns

    I saw an ABC report last night with a video, Austin TX police had 80 (I think) explorers with cracks in the exhaust pipes. It showed the cracks. Some of the explorers were administrative and hadn't been modified. They pulled all off the streets.

    2017 Grille question

    I had a 2016 XLT, blue jean color. I found a chrome grille overlay on amazon. I now have a 2017 white limited. I don't think the chrome will show up very well. Has anyone seen any black grille overlays out there? Thanks, Earl
