I haven't done too much with it. On the outside, there's a bug deflector and side window wind deflectors. On the inside, I upgraded the stereo with a Kenwood headunit and 6 disc CD changer that was installed in my previous Explorer. I also changed the two front speakers to 3-way Pioneers. Nothing fancy but it sounds pretty good.

Thanks for the compliment! I get some funny looks over my truck, and some people are not fond of the badges - but it doesn't bother me. They don't own it - I do... .

Bought my a-pillar and gauges from Barnett Performance. I have a boost gauge and a fuel pressure gauge. I have another one that I made into three gauges, but I don't have the third gauge I want yet, so I haven't installed it yet. It is coming soon - but the gauge is around $400, so I have held off until I have ime to do it right...

I have Cobra and SVT emblems. My gauges were around $200 for both, and the pod was something like $25. The gauge I am going to add next cost around $400 by itself - that is why I have been waiting - had other things to get first...

Sorry - my 2 gauge pod is already promised to someone...
