What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

[Jshaffer3819]

Yesterday I installed the 2nd set of black Gorilla 96643BDX lug nuts (the 1st set only shipped with 19 nuts ) then today I had 35% Xpel HP applied to the front row windows, and clear Xpel PPF applied to the headlights and fogs at Sunshade in Troy MI. I wanted the fogs tinted but Eric talked me out of it after experiencing lens cracks with LaminX.

Just curious, why do you apply clear Xpel PPF to your headlights? Does it look different?

It didn’t make any difference appearance wise on mine. It just helps protect the plastic get pitted and sandblasted from road debris.

Ok thanks. That makes sense. I have an appointment to tint my windows Tuesday and want to get it all done at once. Considering doing the rear taillights too.

When doing this one, we went for the front window tint, full front bumper, hood and front fenders and then the headlights, fog lights and mirror caps. Very glad we got it all done with the crappy winters we get up here.

Detailed my ST, my F150, and my wife's Santa Fe today. Of course the ST got most of the attention. Installed OCD screen protector. I have the pillar wraps too but didn't get around to those.

Stupid me thought the Indy Car race was tomorrow (Sunday) so I planned to go......nope, it was today. Guess ill just wait for next year.

Just had 70% ceramic done on the whole windshield with a 20% eyebrow. I should have done this years ago. It’s virtually clear to the point I didn’t think it was even installed yet when I saw it so no issues at night and on a 95* day here I can’t even feel the bright sun on my hand when I’m holding the steering wheel. This stuff is the truth.

Preach. This is my first vehicle with ceramic tint and I did 5% on everything/50% windshield with XPEL XR+. It still astonishes me that on a 90+ degree day the interior of my car is still cool when I come out of a store… never having another car without it.

Yea the rest of the car has been done since I got it with ceramic including the pano roof. I just didn’t want anything dark on the windshield. This is perfect to me…I like being able to see at night. lol

Would love to do the windshield and I know 70% isn't dark by any means.... just worried the tint nazi's around here would still gimmie crap about it lol. But I am about to have 20% ceramic done on all the other windows.

windshield distorted ?

Man, I love your high gloss 2021 center cluster! Looks much better than the cheap plastic stuff of 2020. One of these days, I'm going to order that.

I had similar concerns but you literally can’t tell anything is there.

Not at all and I wear polarized sunglasses. There’s still a few cloudy spots where it’s still drying but in a day or so it’ll be just as clear as the rest of the windows.

Added at least 12hp with these for only $12! Wife and I really like the look. The ST badge stands out much better on the back.

Do you mind me asking where you got the H&Rs from? I've heard they're still not available. I ordered mine on June 1st.
