Which Line-x are you going to?

I've got an appointment on the 25th to get my rear wheel wells done. Going with the premium, heard it's a lot easier to keep clean since it's a slicker finish

Going to Ron in South Amboy NJ. They need to open in North Jersey...

My Sunroof Shade DOES let the light through in the front. Were you able to find a black weatherstripping to put on the front of the sunroof?

I assume you're referring to that 1/2 lip that's on the front of the sunroof when it's open. (Not referring to the part that pops up when it opens)

I'm talking about the roof panel that you close to block the light, not the glass. The rubber strip that the panel closes against has a slight bulge at each end, the panel isn't exactly the same shape so it can't completely close to block out all the light. I went to lowes and got grey/blk 1/4" foam weather stripping with adhesive on one side. It looks like it should have been there. I'll post some pictures when I get home today.

Blacked out that ugly ford logo and will make the chrome around it gunmetal to match the rest of the rear lettering as soon as the rain stops.

Need to smoke those tail lights too. If you are going for the "blacked out" look that will go a long way.

Agreed, I'm really liking the blacked out look these days. Blinged out my 05 Screw with chrome everywhere, going for the black beast look on this one...
