Removing the ugly grey cladding on XLS

[atxhookem]

I've seen that many people have painted them, but has anyone removed it completely and replaced it with actual panted parts that really look like part of your explorer?

Basically I'm wondering how I can get my explorer to have the same looking trim package as a LIMITED explorer I guess.

You could probably find xlt bumpers that are the same color as your paint and make it look like one of the xlt's with no trim. From what I have heard is that its kind of difficult to do all of the cladding yourself, so that's just my input.

Do Eddie Bauer and Limited bumpers and fenders also fit on the XLS? I would think not, but I've been doing alot of research on Google and I just can't seem to find an answer.

If you do remove the cladding I will buy it off you...

The EB/Limited bumpers will fit the XLS model if you have the black plastic fenders, otherwise wont look right.

Eddie Bauer - Notice the beige trim on the bumper, and how it goes onto the fender; some XLS models don't have the plastic fender peices so the trim will just cut off at the end of the bumper.
