I’ve had this thing for 4 days...enjoying it so far but stock sucks so it’s time to set it apart from the rest. I usually do extensive truck builds and this will be no different...just some extra time waiting on parts for this new platform.
Starting with an Iconic Silver truck with pano roof, Street Pack and Premium Tech...pretty standard stuff.

Did a few tiny things right off the bat. Debadged the hood and gate, plate mount removed, a few Forscan mods, tinted the red reflectors in the bumper, tint including the pano roof, radar detector and dash cam installed...had to do something. CE676178-56D1-4D94-98C3-D0DCBCCD86FA.jpeg

And now the wait is on for parts. Things like WeatherTech mats, painted emblems and Bumper Plugs should be here shortly. Roof rail delete parts are coming in a week or so as well as drop springs and some exhaust parts. The first big buy is having a set of BC Forged EH181 wheels built. 22x10.5 with 305/35’s all around. They should be here early July then I’ll throw in a Whipple intercooler, UPR catch can and start playing with HP Tuners for some power.

Those have to be the best looking wheels I've seen anyone get for their ST so far.

Can't wait to see them on yours to get a better look at them.

Thanks. With a 22x10.5 at +30 offset and a 305/35 the fenders should be absolutely stuffed full of wheel. The H&R drop springs will help too.

Thanks, that is really good fitment.

What a tease haha. Need to show us the whole side profile.

I went on a bit of a shopping spree this morning.
Redline hood struts
McGard spline drive lug nuts
Bumper plugs
AFE drop in air filter
Painted f/r ovals
305/35/22 tires
New TPMS
Billet 1/4” wheel spacers
H&R drop springs
Steering wheel emblem overlay
And one thing I’m gonna keep quiet until it’s painted and installed.

I’m welding in some 4” black exhaust tips today also.

Just some powdercoated stainless tips off eBay. They’re 9” long with a 2.5” inlet...you gotta have that to push them away from each other. 4” tips won’t fit with the spacing of the oem pipes. Takes a little fab work but it’s an easy mod.

Looking great! Mind if I trouble you for information on the Billet spacers you used. I'm having a heck of time sourcing a set.

Thanks.

Cant wait to see all of this stuff installed. I just put the K&N filter in mine. Curious as to how much of a difference there is between the AFE and the K&N.

Definitely getting the hood struts too! Thanks for the tip!
