Smile FIRST FORD FIRST EXCURSION FIRST DIESEL

Hello People,
Finally I found an Excursion that I liked and bought it exactly 18 days ago. its a 2004 limited 6.0 turbostroke. I am posting a few pics that I got from the dealers website because exactly four days after I bought mine I had an accident due to which the lower valance or skirt on the front bumper was damaged and had to be removed , turn out it was a custom made thing and I am not able to find its replacement may be you guys can help me out cos i really liked it.

I am not very hands on person when it comes to automobiles hence I will be asking questions that you might find amusing but friends plz bear with me as Its my first diesel and first ford etc etc.

If I cant find the valance that you can see on the Pics I will want to change the front and the rear bumper will need your expert advice and suggestions as to what modifications I can make on this vehicle for a maximum of 10k.
A few things that I will like to add are :
1) 2-way Remote Starter and security alarm
2) indash NAV, DVD, BLUETOOTH and Rear Back Up Camera
3)A Newer Model and Better REAR DVD/entertainment System
I can see some very light rust on the door edges inside. ( Rust proofing )

I am open to all ideas and suggestions , All inputs will be very well appreciated .
Thanks in advance

P.S : I tried but was not able to post the images/pics of my ex kindly help

Most excellent!

Now, if you choose the IMG code link, your pictures will show up here in the thread, instead of the direct hyper links.

For your exhaust, you haveto go with an MBRP system. No bug deflector. Install a lift kit, wheels/tires, AMP step, as that should spend all of your limit.

Thanks Indy350 for the link.

hello hwybee, thanks for your input too but I was told that my ex has been moderately lifted already. I bought it for the vast room it has hence a fairly decent and comfortable vehicle for my family of 7. about the exhaust can you elborate more on your recomendations.

thanks

alaska ex:
I opted to go for compustar instead of viper cos A lot of ppl I know Had problems with viper, its a superior system (hi-tech) but high maintainence. compuserve is low maintainnece and easy to use.

thanks for your input though its highly appreciated.
