That's 20 min from me, I actually saw that yesterday and I'm watching it.

I don't want chrome however. Can it be painted or powdercoated?

Here's one. Don't know what your budget is but I got my rear bumper from these guys. Fast shipping. They have a bunch of new painted front bumpers. They charge freight shipping so not sure exactly what that would run you.

its two 3rd row seats facing each other and i made a filler for the gap in the center so its like a huge lounge area lol

i plan on going camping (never been but friends go alot) so i could use it as a sleeping area when i do so. i never carry anything in the cargo or people in the 3rd row, so i used the space and did something different.

I was reading that interior led thread, and have been putting together a list. I'll be ordering leds soon for all the interior lights. Did that in my HHR (yea I own a Chevy) lol and it was the best mod I've ever done.

$$$speed, really not too much invested so far. Some carpet, suede, wood. Maybe 2000 total including the 38s I got.

Next major project is getting a set of the bushwacker cutout flares installed so I can get my wheels mounted

I think it is..05 to 09 F350 style. I will take some pics of my new X and post them soon.

I also just put a full flow master exhaust system and some 33" tires. Now however want to put a 4' inch suspension lift, bigger wheels and 35" tires so think I just threw $1k out the window. Maybe put studs on those and run them in the winter?

I saw you blacked out your tail lights. Is that an easy process and inexpensive? I do not want them blacked out justy lightly tinted.

many thanks

Mike

You can do it as dark or light as you want. Get a can of VHT Nite-Shades and get after it. Light coats until you get it to look how you want it.
