Ok Ok, Im sorry I know everyone knows I got a new car already, but I just realized that since Im going to be doing stuff to it, Id rather have one thread that is updated than making anew thread for each new toy I get ... 
So to Recap - If you didnt know, I got a 2003 Black Explorer Sport XLS, automatic... Stock... Power Windows/Locks, CD player, 16" alloy rims, working A/C... yeah thats the important stuff...
Since I got it in the begining of May 2003, I have since added:
Neon Interior Lights - 3 bars. One under the center dash, and one on each side of the rear seating area.
Sub/Amp - One 12 Inch Pioneer Sub and a Lightning Audio Amp. Sounds nice, not too loud, which is good bc I wasnt looking to blow anyone away, just to add a nice low end to my stock set up.
Future Mods
Looking to add a Westin Stainless Steel Safari Gaurd and some driving lights, and also some Stainless Running Bars/Nerf Bars. Anyone have any advice on a good looking/good quality set?
Also want to add a new Head Unit. Possibly a In Dash Screen, but not sure. I hate to remove the stock set up bc I like the way it fits just right. Adding an aftermarket kit always looks funny in that oversized hole.
As far as which direction the Torsion Bar will twist is still debatable. I know lowering would look nice, and I give mad props to MAtt and the others who have done such, but a taller Sport is sooooo rare, and I really want to do somethin that looks different around here. Anyone with experience lifting this vehicle, I am always open for advice.
Well... I think that covers most of it for now. More pics to come. Thanks.

As an 02 black sport owner (exact same as yours) this is very disapointing.
