Thanks buddy! So far its been everything I hoped it would be. Line-X is going in on Saturday, then hopefully fender flares Sunday. I just got a LED headlight kit (Broview S5 series, same as I have in 3 other vehicles) to go with LED foglight bulbs. That will be next week.

Thanks guys! Well the STX decals were bound for doom and gloom. Gave her a bath today and away they went! Perfect time to give it a full detail, the kids at the dealership think shinny slick armor all is cool. Newsflash, it's not cool...... The reason being is it needs 1 dent PDR'd (dealer noticed it while being detailed). This gave me the chance to give it a full once over. Happy to report no chips, scratches or even light clearcoat scratches. Very impressed.

Looks much cleaner without that sticker. Did you get the tailgate badge off too?
Must be nice not having locating holes so the apes can put a badge on straight that guys like us would trash anyway..

It's a shame the fender emblems have holes.

No tailgate emblem removal yet, but that's coming. Trying to prioritize the next 3 mods. Tint with windshield strip, 2" lowering shackles and floormats. Can't decide which to get next.

I've been wondering about the shackles, but I wasn't gonna say anything!

Gonna go with the Ford Racing M-3000-H kit. 1" isnt low enough, 2" have to clearance a support bar on the bed and this kit is 1.5", just right. Issue is cost, hate spending $112 on them when the el-cheapos are $40 in ebay. But you get what you pay for!
