Looks good... I noticed Ford shrunk the rear middle headrest in the 13's compared to the 12's, Im guessing for better visibly over passenger comfort! I know they also added a button to fold the other two headrests forward or visibility! Im 6'2" no problems seeing out the back of mine!

I also have a custom made trashcan formed to butt up to the back of the center console, if anyone is interested
I would like to know more on how you made the glowing sticker

It's a product called: PowerDecal at http://www.powerdecal.com/

I actually saw them in a early shark tank episode under a different name and then came across them in Walmart last year on sale for 10 bucks.

I dissected one and it's basically 2 LED's powering a panel with a transparent film overlay that comes off. Powered by 2 AA batteries, that activate when 2 sensors are true (truck in motion, lack of light)...and then turn off after 2 minutes of no motion.

The custom overlay I created was pretty simple. I basically picked up some printable overhead transparency film from Office Depot, sized my image correctly, printed 2 times on the same film sheet to give the black more depth and used the original overlay as a cutting template. I then popped it in place and done

credit the developers, it's a pretty cool technology

Hmmm I'll have to look for this bar, when I felt under there all I felt was the carpet until the front of the seat.

Thanks!

I used the walmart led strips for my bed lighting and they rock. I ahve a cover over the bed, and they light it up like daylight.

I was so happy with them, that I put another pair under the hood for when working in the engine bay.
