Default Goodbye chrome, Hello gunmetal

Decided to ditch most of the chrome (okay, polished aluminum) on the car. Just not my thing.

Really happy with the look now as it fits my vision for the car. Thoughts?

I definitely like the new look. I think the blacked out scheme looks much better then chrome/polished aluminum.

4.10's are definitely a great mod, they will really wake your pony up! Let me know if we can be of any assistance!

Thanks Dan,

I sent you a PM but perhaps you missed it.

Are there any shops in the area that you would recommend for the gear install? I'm in PA, pretty close to the AM warehouse (Langhorne)

Much appreciated!

Hey,

Sorry about that, I must have missed your PM! I would most likely recommend taking your car over to Ford for this job. Any local side shop can definitely get the job done correct, but I always had a thing for trusting ford mechanics since they do this type of work all the time! I know we always hear horror stories of the dealers charging an arm and a leg. However with a job like this its pretty straight forward and they don't really have much room to up sale you anything. Your bringing the parts and want them installed that's all there is to it!

I hope this helps, let me know if I can be of any further assistance!

-Dan
