My 99 Explorer Sport
Hey just wanted to say whats up to everyone on here and also show you my Explorer. It's already got a bunch of mods but I just ordered a whole slew of stuff as well as some other parts that will be coming in closer to around christmas time. My goal is to make it a SVT Explorer. Obviously there are none but thats why I'm going to make it one myself.

As you can see I have the billet grilles (Explorer Express) and I'm considering having them powdercoated black. All my grey trim will be black within two months including the bumpers. It will also be lowered 2" in the rear and 2-3" in the front. I just got a Saleen XP8 sway bar and I will be ordering Doetsch Tech lowering shocks. I would've gone with the Edelbrock IAS shocks but they are only recommended for a maximum drop of 1.25".

Anyway here it is:

By the way these pics are outdated, the amber in the rear taillights has been tinted red to match the rest of the taillights.

I removed those stupid "rally" foglights on the front bumper btw. The front bug guard is also long gone.

Mike I would consider that an Upgrade in ammenities. But, I would've hated to lose the style of the O1 Sport! Have you done any upgrading?
