Looks good - Roofrack-less 3rd Gens always vaguely remind of Gen1 Exped's for some reason (I guess it makes them look longer).
Thanks! yeah it kinda does, i have always thought the 3rd gen X's look somewhat like expeditions

Added backup camera...
I added an inline splice going from the backup lights to the voltage detector on the head unit, so it automatically switches to the camera when I put it in reverse.
I had backed into something a while back and my rear bumper had a small dent, so I just cut a hole around it to fit the backup camera. There are backup cameras on Amazon for $20-30 that will bolt on top of your license plate.

very nice, but thats very noticeable....dont be surprised if some punk kids knocks it off......
You'd think that by the pics, but it's in there pretty good... I'd have a hard time getting it out of the bumper if I tried.

Don't leave the transfer tape on! The tape will leave glue residue, and it'll be more likely to take the decal with it! Trust me... I used to make decals for a living!
