My Ex so far, give me your thoughts!

[wpack9543]

What I've done so far:
-Clarion CX609 Head Unit
-Rockford Fosgate R250-2x12 Powered Subs
-4 Kenwood C6893PS Door Speakers
-5000k HID Headlights
-3000k HID Foglights
-Billet Grille
-Bug Deflector
-Hankook Dynapro ATM 255/70/R17 tires

What I want to do:
-Remove the running boards
-Paint the trim black
-Get cross bars and a Yakima Load Warrior roof rack
-Black Westin Bull Bar
-Paint the billet grilles black (Thoughts?)
-Maybe get some 4th gen tail lights (Thoughts?)
-Paint the stock rims black (Thoughts?)
-Any other suggestions, besides a lift?

Let me know what you guys thinks!!

are those grilles easy to install? do they bolt on or sumthing?

 

[wpack9543]

Yes, the top grille is bolted on with four bolts, I can't remember how I put the bottom grille in.

nice x

Excellent work! Remove the bug deflector "afterthought" and you're closer to perfection.

You'll like the Load Warrior. I had one on my OLD 3rd gen in my siggy and used it to carry around a full size 33" spare wheel/tire. I also needed the crossbars, and oddly enough I found it all on Craigslist from someone with an Explorer who was just selling the rack...and he threw in the crossbars for free

I'll probably remove the bug deflector when I get a bull bar or grille guard!

Yeah I really like the way load warrior works and I loved it on your ex. I plan on getting both the rack and cross bars once I get the money, not sure if I should get a grille guard or those first. If I'm ever able to lift it, I plan having it look similar to your old white ex!

Thanks for the props, and your Ex is looking great already

Appreciate it!

Plasti-dipped the grille and it held up great in the pouring rain

Took off the running boards today as well

 

[wpack9543]

Been a while since I have been on here, had a couple upgrades since then:
-plastidipped the trim black
-bull bar install w/ Hella lights
-roof rack
-plastidipped rims

Looks good. You should get the black billet fog light grilles too.

 

[Oxygen]

Nice, looks great!

 

[Explorer7813]

Looks awesome. Need to tint headlights signal lights and tail lights and tint front 2 windows. But looks awesome. Great work.

 

[MarX]

Very sharp and inspirational!
