Screwed up the editing so I reposted on the next thread.
Thanks, man. It's a fun ride!Really dig the transformation! Looks great and I love the wheels.
Thanks, man. It's a fun ride!
Post pics!!!I'm gonna take some inspiration from your build with my 2016
Jonnoriega, nice combo, Bad ASS!. the stance is what im looking for. I, my wife purchased a 2017 Plat. and I want to lower and level it off. the H & R 2/3" drop is what im doing. how is the install? thanks.
Good looking ride! I just purchased a '16 Platinum a couple of weeks ago, and I was considering a few of the mods that you did to yours. Primarily tinting of the head/tail lights Did you notice a diminished light output after tinting the headlights? How is the vinyl wrap holding up? Did you get that tune installed? If so, how's it doing? I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm new to this stuff. Thanks.
I. Like. Your. Style. That is one sick Ex. I especially like the fact you did it right and didn't cut corners. I can hear those turbos spooling nicely in the second video. I am coming from a 4x4 diesel truck into an Explorer, so I kind of have a thing for forced induction. I got tired of 150 dollar oil changes and being burglarized by diesel mechanics. I've had my Platinum for 3 week, all I've done is tint the windows so far. 20% on front with 5% on top of factory tint everywhere else. I live in the Deep South, so I opted for ceramic tint. It is worth the extra cash down here.... It gets really hot. The guy who tinted the windows has some boo boos to fix, though. He doesn't know it yet, but he's going to make it right by putting 10% ceramic tint on the front two windows. I like my tint dark. As long as I don't run around doing dumb s&@t, I don't foresee a problem with the law enforcement crowd.
Now, if I can just figure out how to post pictures....
I'm not an elite member, yet. Mine's not much to look at right now, and might not ever be. Shadow Black paint with windows to match. Stock everything else currently. My vision is to keep the exterior Plain Jane. I like the idea of a stealth, sleeper, soccer-mom missile, minus the soccer mom, of course.
I have an addiction to auxilliary lighting thanks to my 4x4 background. Looking at Rigid Industries midnight edition spots behind the grill. I have to sell all the lights (4x R2-46 driving/hyperspot combos, 1pair D2's in driving pattern and 1pair SR-Q's in diffused for reverse/work lights, all Rigids) I had on my Super Duty to get them, though. Unless I decide to put a GoRhino push bar on it. I can just bolt my R2-46's on that (at least 2 of them), but I am on the fence about that, though. Worried about blocking the adaptive cruise, front camera, and parking sensors. I like those features. Plus, I lose the stealth profile I have in mind. I'm going to take this build slow. Btw, I researched that Borla Exhaust... nice. What order do you recommend installing the performance parts; i.e. intake, exhaust, 3bar MAP, thermostat, plugs, tune... etc.? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Also sub'd to your Youtube channel.

Thanks, man and congrats on the '16 Platinum. I hope the above videos answer your questions about the tune and also i added another video of the Borla Exhaust I added. If you look at my channel, I got some other videos about the ride.
As for the headlights, when I firt darkened them, they looked so bad-ass but I couldn't see **** at night so I had them lightened. It was done by Top Coverage in Elgin, IL and they professionally smoked them.
The vinyl is holding up excellent but I'm replacing the hood and trunk wraps to look llke the mustang below. If I don't like it, I can always remove it. That will be done this upcoming Tuesday. I will pics after, of course.

Vinyl wrap is awesome and if you find a good place, they will usually guarantee their work. Post photos of our ride, my friend!
