- 4" exhaust tips
- black vinyl strip on the hood
- side steps, mud flaps
- roof rails
- Ford performance tune...
- amber drl mod with white led blinker
Soon to come:
H&R lowering springs, 22x9 front, 22x10.5 rear wheels wrapped in continental tires.

Nope. You are still supposed to have a front plate. I haven't had one on my Fiesta ST in 7 years. Got a ticket for it once. That's it. Never really bothered though.

Looks fantastic!
Took my Explorer to get wrapped this morning and they said they need to remove the roof rails. Who did your wrap? I'm not far from Westfield.

Call Mike from Wrap That in East Hanover. Tell him Nick rexommended him and mention Alex from tropic window tinting. They'll take care of you. They did not remove roof rails.

That's Great and you're happy with the quality of the wrap?
Did they also Ceramic Coat it?

I'm happy with the outcome. Mike told me that ceramic coat is a waste of money because black wrap does not last as log due to sun exposure and constant shrink/expand cycles. He told me that it'll last without any issues for 3-5 years as long as I keep it clean.

If you don't mind can you tell me what he charged you for the wrap?
Thanks

He did it as a learning experience. He has never wrapped the roof of an explorer without a sun roof. I only paid for the material. He wasted the first sheet because of all the ridges on the roof. Material + his employees cost was $400. Sorry for no help.

That explains why for just wrapping the roof he wants $1,000. I was already quoted $750 from a shop in NY. Will probably go there. Thanks for the info.

Can you share where you got your exhaust tips from? I’m looking to replace mine.
