This is my 2003 Ford Explorer. I have well over 4,000 invested into this car and it took me quite a while (being 19) to get it to its current look. Starting with the exterior, i have 20 % tint on all windows minus the windshield, Street Scene Speed grilles, Clear Black headlights with amber turn signals, 8000K HID headlamps, and 8000K Oracle Halos by AAC, euro-style taillights smoked, Navigation Performance fog lights (smoked by my boy Frank at Notorious Tintz), eibach pro kit lowering springs, 22 inch BOSS 304 black finish rims wrapped in Nitto NT555 tires, custom red calipers (self-painted), Street-Glow blue underbody LED kit, Flowmaster 40 Series muffler with 3 inch chrome tip. On the interior i have full LED lighting for the floor, 3 12 inch Kicker subwoofers and Kicker Amp, 4 Pioneer speakers, Pioneer touch screen nav system with bluetooth connection and ipod hook up. Hopefully next year i can replace the plastic bumpers and trim with the painted black trim and bumpers. Thanks for looking! Please Rate!

I painted the TIS logo black and put it on the driver side door. I took of the chrome explorer emblem on the tailgate, painted it black and put it on the passenger side door.

I painted the Street Scene grilles from a dull chrome look to a flat black with clear coat. I think it came out nice. Everything will look better when all of the plastic trim is matched black.

High Beam rings were very easy to install           Close up on High Beam ring

gonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorer gonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorer

Low Beam rings had to be modded a little becuase they run a little small for the explorers.

gonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorer

Lit up (daytime, will look sick once installed and a little darker outside)

I broke the other Low Beam (bigger) ring while i was trying to install it. AAC sent me a new one and should be here wednesday. i'll upload picts of the finished product in a couple days.

I got the right lamp completely done and wired to my parking lights. The other light should be done a a few days.. here are some picts of the right side of the car.

gonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorergonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorer

 Also going to switch out to all black 22's next summer. I like how these look..

gonzmexican's 2003 Ford Explorer

Going to throw the black BOSS 22's on our 66 T-Bird once it is finished this winter.

Hopefully throwing on a Belltech Lowering Kit to replace the Eibach Pro Kit. Need more of a drop..and those damn grey plastic bumpers need to go
