Fabbed my strut tower bar today.

A strut bar was my first real mod on the first car I was able to purchase. I remember driving to an empty Home Depot parking lot and installing it. It was instantly noticeable upon exiting the parking lot and making turns. At this point the modding bug bit me and I haven't been able to stop since :devilish:. Is this strut bar noticeable at all on the ST?

I really like that white ST, the contrast with the black looks good. I have the Star White ST, so I'm wondering if it'd look good to neutralize the Red with the White or just keep the red? any thoughts?

They're actually blacker than they look.
Litt hair dryer heat went on easy.
Gotta get a picture on the ST.

hey Jim, If I'm not mistaken, you have a White ST don't you? If so, could you post a picture of it with the blackouts on the front and rear? I was thinking of doing that with a black ST emblem. I also saw some white/Blue ones and though a Whiteout version might look good too. thanks!

Hey Sir, the white looks good but I only have it in the front. I deleted the badge on the tailgate. Yes, it does looks good but I like to change mine often. Right now, I have a color changing vinyl that varies whenever the sun strikes the emblem. Fluorescent yellow/neon green looks great on a black ST as well.

EDIT: I skipped the part that yours is white, mine is completely black even the calipers I painted black so whatever is in a different color really stands out. If I had a white ST I’d probably go with white or black chrome.

Little off topic, do you recommend winter tires for this vehicle? I had them on my previous car, just never had all wheel drive and with the weight didn’t know how well it handled.

three is a topic thread for this, but quick answer: the Pirelli Zero's are horrible in snow or slick weather! I'm in Western PA and we had several snow falls this year. I'm trying to burn up my Pirelli's in time for next fall to get something much better for all weather. I'll lose some fun I'm sure, but would rather lose that than lost my whole ride into a ditch. I posted some thoughts on studless winter tires I think, but if you can't find them, message me back and I'll email you some lessons learned.

White STs with the roof wrapped in gloss black look very nice as well

Installed the Steeda rear swaybar today... Man what a huge difference. I no longer feel like the Explorer is going to roll over going into some turns. VERY noticeable improvement...

Now if the H&R springs I ordered over a month ago would come in...

How difficult was the screen protector to install? I am super OCD ab screen protectors to the point I’ll install on my phone and if it’s not PERFECT I’ll rip it off and throw it away. I’d be afraid I’d do this with that product as well

Much easier to install than a phone protector. With the exception of no smudges or glare you can't tell it's on. Excellent product.
