love the rims! are they 06+ limited rims powdercoated?

also where did you get the projectors in the black housing?
 






yea the rims are the adrenalin 20in wheels and they are powerder coated flat black....i retrofitted the projectors into the headlights...the projectors are from a tsx...
 






no roof rack. Tried it but the bolts that kept the roof rack on were sticking out 1/4" and looked kinda dumb. Do the 3rd gens have the same issue or did you get a smaller bolt or something? It looks really smooth. Much better than what the 4th gens have got going on.

Do you have the running boards or those plastic steps? My running boards are kind of rusted out but I still use them for my short friends. I probably am pretty close.

I'm pretty sure 3rd gens don't have the same issue, the bolts that I have screwed in are the same ones that were holding the roof rack in place. so I'm guessing it's just a 4th gen thing? I'm sure you could always get smaller screws if you think they are too large. Do you have a picture by any chance of what it looked like without the rack?
 






no pics unfortunately. But after i took em off there were rectangular pieces that were goldish in color about 4 inches long by 2.5 inches wide where the running boards sat on. Looked like hell so i put em back on after 3 minutes of having them off. So i painted them black instead of the silver that was on there. Im happy with the results. I guess 3rd gens have better luck cuz it looks way better. I mean just lookin at side profile its obvious that the running boards are mising on the 4th gens cuz it just looks silly. at least mine did.

I think the 05's might have this problem as they use the same roof rack as the 4th gen. The 02-04's use a smaller roof rack.

To be honest not sure what % it is, just told them to match it to the back, so im assuming around 30 ish. The fronts are darker than the back but I am guessing thats due to the fact that the rear ones are dyed and the fronts have the film.
 






Took some pics of the 03 Explorer XLT 2x4 :( so i'm making it street all the way.
