Where in Alaska are you? Notice y'all don't have much snow. In the Anchorage bowl we just got another 20 inches or so over the weekend.

I'm in Ketchikan. So SE AK. Yeah we don't usually get much snow which is nice...but the down side is we also usually don't get very hot summers..temps stay around 40* all winter and usually only get to about 60-70* in the summer..but not enough of those warmer days

So in spirit of making this look more like an FX4, I'm also looking into switching out the radio bezel for an FX styled one. I have found this one on Tasca's website. They have this one (ash satin), then they have Black Screen, and Black/Obsidian. I have an idea kind of what Ash Satin looks like..not sure the others..so if anyone has any pic's for reference please post them up, but I have to be honest, I like the price of the Ash Satin one more that the others.

Zax-

We must be almost the same person. I also planned to pull out the lift blocks or go with 2" drop shackles on my Sunset Metallic STX sport. I just put a Roush intake on it. It sounds soooooo good. Really opens up the engine in the cabin when you stomp it. Should have my custom tunes this weekend. I was getting 18.2 MPG at 65 with the new intake vs 15.8 @ 65 (before intake) Hopefully milage will go up as I break it in. I also want to get the FX lights (front and rear).

I will try to get some pictures of mine up, but the weather in Indiana has been the wost in years.

I have been debating on the Roush intake for a few weeks now. I'm getting 16.4 now and that's mixed city and highway (50-55mph) which is much better than my 08 was getting

I'm stoked to see some pics man, I like the sports pkg just didn't want to wait up to 4 months for my dealer to get one haha.

Does sound like we have a lot of the same ideas though. Well since you seem to be moving faster than me on them, please post pics asap. I'm also interested once you drop yours how the ride is. From what I've read it doesn't change anything but I also want to see how it looks.

My MPG average has not been very good but that is because I can not stay out of the throttle. The intake is worth it just for the sound.
