The xls exterior was all blacked out, grill, bumpers, window mouldings, door handles, everything! Personally I think the exterior is kind of ugly, and perhaps that is why you don't see to many of them, and they were only an 82-83 thing. I think broncos had it too.

The interior is the cool part, instead of having the plain gray standard trim, or the xlt woodgrain, they had an aluminum finish. I think someone on here has a 82 flareside XLS with a few pics in thier gallery.

E-bay had a radio bezzel and a horn pad from an XLS. No intrument bezzel was listed. It really didn't go for much more than a good simulate wood Bezzel.

I suppose they would have gotten more if they had a complete set.

Yea, I had seen those. I don't need the horn piece, I have a sport wheel. I'd rather buy a set so they match, but also so I know I don't get stuck with just one piece.

Were there any XLS's with air?

And any way to make that add any bigger?

F250er, those cop cars get all the cool s#!*. I have a buddy who's a cop. His new crown vic has cross drilled rotors! Not to mention a good old pushrod 351.
