'03 Explorer XLT NBX
I put my 20" Cobra Rs on today and took some pics. They're 20" with a Polished finish:

Wow you really are a big fan of black and yellow arent ya? :D your truck looks amazing so clean and the colors really flow well with the design of the truck where did you get 20" cobra r's? i can only find 17-18" ones i would love to get a pair of 20" how much where they? again very nice truck.
 












I, like you, searched forever trying to find these wheels. I finally found them used. A guy over on FXN was getting rid of his truck and I was the first to call dibs on the rims. There's another guy over there that has them only chrome. I just found this out so I'll hit him up and see where he bought his from.

Strangely enough my favorite color is blue. It just happens that the last two vehicles I've bought were yellow. It's kind of weird but when I see a car I get "visions" and that is what drives my purchase. I bet that sounded pretty retarded.
 






Those rims look soooo good on your truck. I wish I would have got them when I have the chance.
 






Very Nice!

Any chance you'd want to trade your black hood scoop for a yellow one? I just bought a used '99 Mustang GT hood scoop to go on my Ex, but it's yellow. I need black.

Regards,
John.
 






What do you do for a living? Your X, and your driveway/house is pimp!
 






Couple of questions for you. I have the '03 nbx too. First thing I did was rip the basket of also. How does it handle with the 1.6" drop? Any alignment issues? What did the headrest monitors run you and are they the kind where you but them already in a headrest or did you have put them in your own headrests? How do you remove the racks on an "03? Sorry, didn't search just wanted your input. Thanks

I'm an IT Manager for a Real Estate Developer. I also bought my house when prices were low down here. They have more than tripled and I could never afford to buy my house now.

It handles better with the drop. Of course, the roads down here are nice so that may be why. You'll have to buy a camber kit if you install these springs. The headrest screens I did myself. I took the black plastic housings from the tvs and mounted them behind the fabric. It gives it a factory look. To remove the roof racks there are plastic caps at the front center and rear of the racks. You just have to pull hard on them and they'll pop off. The torx screws are underneath them.
 






BTW Sweet ride! Thanks for info. Still deciding which way I'm going with this. Like your mods and the color looks sharp.
