This is what I went with. Super simple install. Took 15 minutes.
What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

Weekend project.
Took delivery of my MY23 at the end of the year, so I’m still doing all the things which set a baseline for the bigger mods to come (suspension, 37s, IC upgrade/relo, hidden winch, etc).
Other stuff done so far but not posted to this thread are full PPF, aux lighting install, SmartCap + lighting, BuiltRight MOLLE bedside panels, tow hook swap, dashcam hardwire and mount, radar detector hardwire and mount, stubby antenna and the usual Forscan tweaks.
These clips from the weekend were made for IG and posted to my Stories (@blinker.fluid), hence vertical format and contextual narration not needed on the forums ... but they cover what was done.

Rear Cup Holders (with “can you guess” at the end):
Attached pics show the BuiltRight Dash Mount Pro, which I didn’t video

Are these raised/embossed? I did vinyl in mine (can’t remember from where off-hand) and they’re pretty thin, as decals go. Wondering if they’ll lose color over the summer. Hadn’t seen the TUFSKINZ version.

Can I ask where you were able to locate the rear cup holder? Having stuff flop around in there when I'm driving makes me want to throw it out the window.
Right? My Gen 2 had the tensioners and I never gave it a second thought ... until My Gen 3 didn’t!
I sourced it from eBay. It was NOS, and the seller knew what they had ... meaning I paid about 4x its original price from Ford. But it’s literally the only one I’ve seen. I scoured a few salvage sites for wrecked 21s, but nothin. Good luck ... worth the hunt (and the price premium if you find one)
Any chance you have the OEM part number?

Here you go. I was concerned that they would really stick out like a sore thumb but it turns out they’re a little more subtle from a distance than I thought when I first applied them.

Yes, they are raised/domed and made to fit within the outline. They definitely aren’t thin vinyl cutouts. TufskinZ says that they made of a UV resistant resin with a 3M adhesive backing. Given the cost, I certainly hope that they don’t fade and last for a good long while.

Nice upgrades.
Question about the AC controls. Did you buy your controls new? I was looking to get a new controller but I have read that Forescan doesn't work on the new ones and you need another program to get it working.
