Another idea I am toying with..(paint related)

[Brandon4AU]

This is a pic that I colored with a sharpie. What does everyone think?

Stock pics are on my homepage if you dont know what it looks like now.

I like. Considering I have an 'all trim painted black' explorer, I'm particularly partial, but the whole 100% black look with a touch of chrome/metal looks great. I say go for it.

 

[Brandon4AU]

sweet...positive feedback for a change lol

 

[Brandon4AU]

Do you have any pics of your ride nweibly? Did you paint it or was it stock?

 

[Brandon4AU]

any more opinions?

I really like it, you could always get a limited grille since they are body color already as well and I am sure it would not cost too much to paint your bumper ya know.

 

[Brandon4AU]

I plan on doing it all myself. I will paint the grill and the bumper....if it looks like crap then I always planned on getting a 99-01 limited black bumper. I will find one of those.

looks good man.. similar to kodeblu's ex. i am actually in the process of doing something similar. If it ever stops raining here, ill get it done, and put up some pics.

I wonder how it would look with the grille and plastic on the bumper painted black, but leaving the bumper chrome... just a thought

 

[Hokie]

Ok, maybe not as good as I thought... yeah, all black would probably look the best. Check out Hartman's ride, he's done some stuff like this I think...

Anyway, here's about 5 min with MS Paint to roughly show what I was talking about..

My vote, paint all trim black and get some chrome 18's or 20's

 

[Brandon4AU]

lol....If I could afford 18s or twennies I would...but I am going up instead. I have some 33s. I am waiting on my lift and maybe some cheap 15x8's. Guess I never decided between street and off road so I am going with the best of both world's.

 

[GaSouthern1]

I say paint it and slap those 33s on it, it will look awesome. When do you think that you will be running the 33s?

 

[Brandon4AU]

A few more days of convincing my dad that I need a 3 inch body lift for my oct 29th birthday and then the delivery time. SO hopefully not much longer....I have the tires now.

Well dayeeem... Get that baby up in the air! (Do you already have the TT/shackles? b/c you'll need those too to fit 33's)

Didn't know you were going the right direction (read, lifting not lowering )

 

[Brandon4AU]

no thats coming soon too.

 

[Brandon4AU]

Waiting is the hardest part.

 

[Premier]

LoL, Mine is all black like that, and I wish I had chrome... Strang eh?

What a waste of a perfectly good black Explorer. (read: lower it)

I don't like the grill.
