yea see i love the ST rims, (not stock explorer rims like those, [which looks great also, but not what im going for) but dont spacers put a ton more stress on axle components and wheel hubs and stuff?
Also i was mtn bikign today and went to unlock my explorer when i was leaving and found a big arse scuff on the fender, like 8 inches long and an inch wide, i couldnt rub it off with my finger so u know any way to repair that without having to get touch-up paint?
oh and i did a [very] rough pic edit to see what the grill would look liek color matched.
it was in microsoft paint so ignore the terrible editing job haha, its just to get a basic feel of the look, i dont mind it, a bit more agressive look imo, but the grey inner parts stick out liek a sore thumb, and i would rather hide them because they just dont look all that good (i have considered cutting them out but that wouldnt look very good either and make teh grill weak) so maybe paint those parts black? or just color matched like the rest?
And, one last thing, haha. Several people mentioned using plastic gutter mesh on the inside of the grill? any reason that would be a bad idea? look weird, noticably reduced airflow to radiator? anything like that i would need to consider?
