Tastefully done, not overdone.

Thank you buddy...today i got my front lettering "EXPLORER" from my dealership..i just put them today...and decided to plasti dip the remaining chrome on the grill to have that Bloody Mary Murdered Look hahahahaha pics to follow...:thumbsup:
 






it looks good the only thing I am not crazy about is the pin stripes
 






Looking good. Now you just need to bake those headlights, pull them apart, and plastidip those turn signals. Or else you could darken them a little with some LaminX headlight film.

Baking is tough if it is your first time
 






Actually was thinking of the same headlights like the one from Galpin Auto...i have angel eyes on the works LED HALO as daylight it will look cool...:)

O.k. You stated:

On the rims, what's the width and offsets?

Are the fog lights a drop in replacement for the OEM lights. The OEMs don't really give off much light.
 






One more thing - dark tint in the back!! I have limo (5%) on the windows except the front.
 






I'd like to see more photos of the Carbon Wrapped Rear Spoiler.

Where did you get that done? How much? Easy to come off?

if you want more brighter go HID's its the only way...I have PIAA Extreme on mine..my headlights are HID's and you can still see that HID's are far from very bright and white...
