[Limited02]

Tint front windows 15% to match backs.

I personally would love to take the silverish radio trim piece out of swap it for something that matches my truck's color more.

I have a Tan/Gold Mountaineer and the silver trim ring and silver trim on the doors is ugly IMO. I wouldn't mind a woodgrain pattern or just painting them to match

 

[X6StringerX]

-Remove all badges/pin stripes
-Tint windows to match
-Smoke lights
-Paint any gray/black plastic parts body color
-Functional hood scoop
-Aftermarket grille
-Have exhaust hole(s) professionaly cut in rear bumper cover and reroute exhaust accordingly


That's all I can think of right now...

..

+1....exhaust pipe on our trucks look out of place and cheaply designed

 

[patman]

i second the exhaust hole's in the bumpers.....but use a roll pan...make the exhaust square...like the early 70's cuda's

 

[Limited02]

I didn't want to go nuts at first because I wanted to give others a chance, but since we are, these are my plans:

Exterior
-Remove roof rack(done)
-Tint front windows 15%(done)
-Lower
-20" Boss Motorsport 306's
-Billet upper and lower grill
-Clear corners(maybe make the inside black like the Adrenalin plus the headlights?)
-06+ Taillights
-Full detail

Interior
-Good CD/DVD/GPS touchscreen radio
-Replace all speakers with JL audio(Do not care for big subs)
-Full detail
