I didn't waste anytime modding my new explorer to the way I wanted it to look. I got the car about 3 weeks ago and have done the following mods myself. Please ask if you have any questions about what I have done and I will try my best to help you out! Sorry the car is super filthy I hit some dirt roads fishing the other day and haven't washed it since.
First I had to get rid of the ugly orange reflectors in the headlights:
Then I tinted the tail lights:
Then I plasti dipped all the chrome on the car including the rear emblem and strip along the hatch that says "explorer":
I also plasti dipped the wheels leaving the lug nuts un painted:
My next project will be to tint the side markers on the mirrors as mine are yellowing and collecting moisture inside the lens:
I will also be either color matching the door handles or painting them black. Plasti dip will just not hold up on the handles as much use as they get on a daily basis. In the pictures you can also see that I plasti dipped the chrome strips on the bottom of the doors! Project black out is in full effect!! Enjoy
