Thumbs up Mod thread

Alright i guess this is as good a place as any to start a thread for all my modifications?
i have a 99 XLT 4.6 in Oxford White. Just bought it... 2/23/11
anyways, im starting on my mods this weekend.
I bought a friends tonneau cover that was bought in 98. its a Leonard and its maroon so im borrowing my friends compressor and spray gun and PTMing over the weekend. Also tearing up the dash and interior to PTM the dash over the guages and around the stereo. possibly painting door panels and inside window pillars as well. hopefully will be posting pics at each step =) any advice or tips would be much appreciated! thanks!

There is a reason dashes don't come light colors from the factory. Your gonna get a very bad glare, as you can see in the pic.

while your at it, PTM the mirrors and grill surround, then paint the grill black and it would look much better IMO
