Finally got my headlights worked out. Blacked out all the chrome, hid hideously large the orange blinker with a few coats of tail light tint, got some sequential switchback DRL/Blinker led's, and put in some EVO-R Projectors and 35w hid's, and got the driver and passenger windows tinted.
Looks very nice. Aftermarket LED really has come a long way.
Thanks. Still trying to decide on wheels for it. When i pull the tires off the factory wheels this winter to put snows on them i want to have new wheels to put on in the spring.
Not sure if they're the style you're after or if they're the right specs, but the '16 Flex Appearance Package wheels look nice. If you wanted to go with an OE option.
I legitimately forgot this had to be a recent picture thread, my bad. I just posted a screenshot that I really liked lol. This is from about ~30min ago in the local canyons.

Thanks,Those are nice but Im looking for something 20" (depending on if i find the right wheel id allow my self to go up to a 22 but would prefer to stay 20) with around 9.5 to 10" wide.( I want to stuff 285-295s on it.

If they wouldn't be so expensive, being brand new, I'd love a set on our White Suede Flex.

Nice looking headlight mods! Did you do them yourself, or have a shop do them?

Thanks. I did them my self. It really wasn't that hard even though ford uses permaseal. When heated it is fairly workable, not like butyl workable but still can be opened. I only had to heat each headlight 2 times to get them opened. Having a friend for an extra set of hands really helps. The EVOX-R projectors are a "Direct" bolt in. No modifying at all. 4 screws and they are mounted.
Really like the contrast of the dark grey on the silver. So the front is blacked out and the wheels are dark grey now so are you going to black out the side vents and window trim now?

Thanks for the compliments. ...
Yeah, the front has been blacked out since a week after I picked her up new back in 2013, and I am considering blacking out the trim. I had been wanting to do the rims for a while and was considering either aftermarket wheels or powder coating the OEM's. After a ton of flip flopping I decided on powder coating after a lot of help from my oldest son who kept telling me to keep the OEM's. I knew I had wanted a color in the Gunmetal family but had no idea there were so many choices, actually too many LOL.
So decided on Dark Grey Sparkle which has a gloss finish, in the shade they're pretty dark, probably a little darker than I wanted. But in the sun they're the color I wanted and the metal flake in the powder pops like crazy, you just can't really see it too well in photos.
Funny, had them done this past weekend and yesterday was 3 years to the day I picked her up at Lindsay Cadillac in VA and drove her 260 miles back to NY with my oldest son (or as he likes to say "co-owner")
Let's do it.. i want a shot just like that with the sun
but let me wash my car first... havent washed it since March.
Dude for sure!!! Let me know man.

0 camber on my car right now. Planning to go -2/-2 with stock coilovers. It's doable with camber bolt trick for the front and Lower Control Arm in the back.
i am not a camber expert but i dont think 0 camber is good for RWD cars. unless you are being and trying to save your tires
but yah i will let you know .. i definitely wanna take some "professional" pictures. Just need to find a time when gf is away.
It's not good or bad, the car is very neutral at all 0. The only way to get the camber in the back is either through coilovers or lower control arm upgrade. I would love me some camber in the front, and have some ideas for it.
For sure man, you got my email. Just bring your gf with you. The top at the canyon is super chill. Nice views, girls love it.
