Did some Forscan changes with the ELM327 USB Adapter off amazon
These are the typical changes everyone does
These two changes are to get rid of the fake engine noise pumped into the cabin
Made these changes so that my brake led is now my brake light, turn signal, and hazards. The turn signal bulbs are not in use anymore.
I saw this on facebook and decided to give it a try, the door speakers sound better for certain songs and the bass does not roll off as much. I am adding an aftermarket sub and chuchero box soon so I might edit these again.

Definitely should check out @UNBROKEN build thread for Iconic Silver ideas. Also be sure to check out my modding guide:

The aluminum pedal covers from Amazon are a great early mod. They are inexpensive ($25) and I've noticed A LOT of us run them. It's a nice interior upgrade.
Also black out the Blue Oval's in the front and rear. If you dont want to remove your front bumper and spend $$ on new emblems, just get a $8 can of plasti-dip, mask the front end and spray it. Mine came out great. The 20-24 models look better with the orange corner lights blacked out. You can get vinyl covers for around $20. I see you already went with Forscan, nice! Happy modding!
EDIT: added a pic showing what the front oval looks like using plasti-dip

Update as of right now (I know my car is filthy but the weather in Toronto is bipolar)
- Swapped out the ST badges for blue, the steering wheel one is a different shade of blue but whatever
- Put stainless steel black ford badges on the front, back, and steering wheel
- Tinted the rear white portion of the taillight, rear reflectors, and front orange corners
- Added 1.25" wheel spacers all around
- Muffler delete with 4" chrome tips, and 2.5" stainless steel piping
- 50% front windshield tint with a sun strip
Sound system and Eibach springs going in next, stay tuned...

I started the wiring for my aftermarket subwoofer.
Using my old 12" SRX Kaption Audio sub for now until I get a box made for my other sub.
Used the oem subwoofer speaker wires for the signal input on my lci2 pro
It's a rats nest I know but trust the process
Mounted a bass knob and another knob for the chuchero box I will install soon
This sub has been playing hard since 2018
