Whitey....those lights are colorful. Kudos

For all you guys who have a problem with your phone placement, I bought these. Love it. Sits so nice in the right center vent. It too close for me using the left center. Anyways, for 2.99, they are great.

I've been using a magnetic mount in the driver's right vent for a number of years now. The gear lever interferes a little with viewing the bottom of the screen but otherwise, I think it's a good location. Easy to glance at nav while I the road (if not connected to my AA head unit)

As an aside, does anyone know a good way to tighten up the left/right swivel action on those vents?

Took this off the parts truck at my buddy's. I took the header and bumper also. I really like that dark red color. Hmmm. Going to take all the dash pieces next week

Nice find, AK. An OEM bumper in that good of shape is rare to find here.

I keep meaning to get in there and create some friction with some moleskin. I know for a fact it will work on the drivers side left vent.... seems like Ford even used their own version of moleskin on mine to keep it somewhat tight and reduce rattles.

That's a great idea! I have some of that here!

I took small thin o-rings and put one in the raised pivot points. Tightens them up quickly. The moleskin is good too. If it was the center two, I've got 4 old radio surrounds, so they are easy to swap.

Well, the past two days have been filling. Filling up with snow that is. We were 17 inches below average, but we've got 10 inches of that since Tuesday night. LOL

Ohio.....if you need either center vent, let me know, I have them, and would gladly send you one or both if you need them. I have grey, beige, and green.
