What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[DoingOK]

Did the first oil change and I was kind of surprised at the size of the oil cartridge and everything being plastic. I changed out the drain plug to the billet UPR piece. And who decided to use three different fasteners just for the undertray piece? Kind of silly.

Added a badge opposite the ST rear badge. Too bad they don't make an AWD vs 4WD version.

Teaching myself how to wrap stuff today . I used transparent Vvivid air release film and knifeless tape to wrap the top of the heads to hide the chrome. I think it’s too dark so I’m gonna order a lighter smoke. It’s not perfect but I like figuring things out so maybe the next shot will be better...

^^That looks sharp.

That looks awesome.

Eibach 30mm spacers all around.


These winter wheels have the same width and offset as the OEM so they should fit similar in the spring.

Hope people have a sense of humor. I used to have these plates on my Ford Raptor to mess with my Dodge buddies. Re-ordered for the ST. Also drove 7 hours roundtrip to pick up a 2017 Focus HB with titanium trim for my daughter. Only 5,200 miles on the car. Luckily (knock on wood), this shouldn't have the transmission issues the 2016 and prior have. I have a warranty to cover everything just in case. She's going to love it.

Not today, but appropriate because this was one of my wife's Christmas presents. She didn't want to spend the money on new wheels so we decided to have the factory 20's powder coated gloss black.

Wow, I mean WOW..... I have a Rapid Red too but i can see why the ceramic coating so worth it. It just brings out the depth in the paint that you see through a glass kind of feeling. Awesome and you used your trip to get her looking great too. Great job.

I wish our schedule would have allowed for clear bra on front end, but such is life LOL.
I will say, it pops in the sun now. I’m glad I drove out here with it. It was a blast on a long trip.

Enjoy your shiny ride. I do have clear bra all over except for the roof from where the moonroof starts. Otherwise, the entire vehicle is covered with clear bra. And after I saw the pic of your vehicle, I went to my garage last night and applied ceramic coating myself (ofcourse not professional caliber like yours) but at looks 1/4 of your shine.

Got the blue badges taken care of today.
Looks good to me. $21 on etsy.

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

Drove back to Dallas from Austin today and got to really dive into and see how badass the copilot 360 lane assist cruise control can be lol.

Finally got to put the ST overlays on from OCDPLUG.
