excitter?

[jar2187]

Today a show an explorer that i drove by parked on the side of one of the locally busy street. It was probably around a 1999 or 2000, I thought it was an eddie bauer because it had the tan moldings like the rest of the newer explorer eddie bauers do. But it had a sold thick(about and 1/2'' to and 1'' thick) dark tan stripe running along the door lined up with the keypad on the drivers door. This is were a I thought it wasnt an Eddie bauer because none that i have seen have the pinstrip like that. Then came the back, the back bumper wasnt the normal tan it was grey with dark gray top. And it didnt say eddie bauer it said "Excitter" above the emblem that says explorer. The lift gate window looked weird too, it was to round. Can anyone tell me what the heck I saw?

[Explorer XLT 98]

I have a 98 explorer xlt with the exciter package. It consists of tan fender flares and running boards and has a lighted ford logo in the front grill it also has a simulated wood grain dash package. I bought my explorer used and it had the grey bumper pads on the front and rear bumpers it really didnt match the tan flares and the running boards so I replaced the bumper pads with tan ones it matches a whole lot better now. Tasca Ford is the one who offered this package. They said it looked like an Eddie Bauer for thousands less. Which it does look just like an EB on the exterior. I think they sold the package from 98 to 99 maybe up to 2000 but im not sure. Hope this answers your question.

Hey, I was just noticing that jar2187 saw this X in Rhode Island, and Explorer XLT 98, also lives in Rhode Island. Maybe you saw his X?!?!?

I was just curious.....How does that illuminated Ford logo look? Do you have any pictures of it by chance? I don't know why something so simple sounds so cool to me

 

[jar2187]

hey, maybe I did. But Explorer XLT 98 said that he replaced is bumper covers.But what are the chance that I saw one in RI and someone posted back to my message from RI. Explorer XLT 98 what area are you from?

 

[Explorer XLT 98]

I can't recall ever seeing an "Exciter" package, but I've seen a lot of dealer installed packages, some that look quite odd with fiberglass bumpers and bodykits...

Its possible the package is unique to that area, meaning some shop does the retrofit at the dealerships on their cars.

Can someone please post pics or a link.... I'd love to see this Excitter package! I lighted ford emblem is sweet!!!!

 

[Stephen]

I'd like to see it too...

Lighted Logo

Can you drive with that one? I put one on after market and the cops tried to pinch me for it.

The look 100% stock and and very nice at night. I have front and rear.
