    High Temperature "sport" Decal

    I'm going to paint the calipers on my Sport red and I'm looking for a hi-temp silver decal. I've asked a couple of dealers on eBay but no positive response yet. Anyone aware of a source? Thanks. Gilbert

    Help me decide on a color for a 2019 Sport

    As far as I'm concerned, black is the only color for a Sport. Blends well the blacked out trim standard on Sports.

    Explorer Gas Mileage - including Ecoboost

    How long does the "break-in" take? I have 6500 miles in my year old Sport and the best highway mileage is less than 20 mpg. About 17 mpg in town.

    My XSport's Home

    It is. Even though it is a 3 car 800 sqft garage, the cabinets across the front reduced front space by 20" and I leave almost 4 ' on the back so the rear lift gate can open when garage door is closed. There is even more of a space problem with the Lightning behind the Sport.

    Questions on different driving modes

    Does anyone know what specifically changes when one selects the several driving modes? I tried the sand mode today and it seems to make the Explorer more responsive as well as improved acceleration. What changes on each mode? Thanks.

    Can you patch this?

    First thing I do when I buy a new auto is to go to Discount Tire and buy their replavement warranty. For less than the cost of 1 tire, I have 100% replacement

    My blacked out Explorer

    Buying original Ford parts could get expensive. Have you thought about having the parts wrapped in gloss black film. This would also allow you to go back to original when you sold it. I wrapped the Ford emblem on mine.

    Can Signature Lights be Brightened?

    What's required to recode them for full bright?

    Can Signature Lights be Brightened?

    Yes, it looks the same. What I meant to say is that others cars, Chevy, etc, the lights above the headlight are very visible during the daylight. My wife was following me in the Ex yesterday and I could barely barely tell they were on in the daylight.

    Can Signature Lights be Brightened?

    I have a 2018 Sport and just noticed that the eyebrow light above the headlight doesn't have a row of leds as I've seen on other cars. It appears to have an led on each end of the eyebrow and is not readily visible during the day (drl's on). Is this correct?

    Hood Deflector

    I was thinking of getting a clear deflector and painting the rear with black spray paint but decided to go with a clear paint protection. Had it applied on 18" of hood, fenders, bumper, A pillars, mirrors and door handle cups. After watching it done, I applied the film to the headlights and...
