Then the itch started... I got it level with a rough country 2.5" and added an AFE Stage II Intake (which I hated, don't have a good pic of the intake).

Then came wheels and tires and I removed the running boards, ran that for a few weeks and decided I wanted boards, just not stock boards...So I bought GoRhino Dominator III's. Then I painted the steps red... it was too much!

So more paint and got the red just right (my opinion). Then I used VHT Nightshades on my headlights, mirrors, ecoboost emblem, 3rd break light, and painted my ovals black (in preparation of the MoodyBlue's). Then came a KC light bar with four 6" KC lights. Which then needed a switch panel so I made this one (which has since been modified and cleaned up). I really liked the look of the nightshades on the corners but not at night, when the lights were on they looked bad... so new headlights with white Halos got installed.

Then came the moodyblue's for the bedside, visor, front plate, and ovals. Followed up with my switch revision and a touch of interior paint. I also removed the front air dam, I'm having problems uploading the pictures I took today with the good camera, so you'll see that tomorrow!

I've also done a bunch of performance modifications as well. They include:
Solo Performance catted down pipe
Solo Performance dual exhaust
Injen Intake (because I hated the AFE)
NX Methanol Injection
AFE charge pipe
Reische 170 degree thermostat
Superchips vivid linq tuner (now only used for a read out)
SCT tuner (unleashed and SoCal tuning...SoCal is the way to go)
Here are my most up to date photo's:
Oh! I forgot about mentioning the window tint (so I'm not fish bowling it anymore)!

Great it doesn't feel cheap it has some weight to it. Powder coating is good (which is y I went this route over nfab) and mounting the bar itself only took 15min. Lights mounted right up to it with no issues. If there was anything I would change it would be to modify it so the wiring could be run inside the bar.
