Busy weekend
Cut 2 coils off the rear stock and leveled out perfect for now. Looks way better than stock but a bit soft ride.
Installed kicker 6.5" 3ways in all four doors using adaptors. Sounds great off just the stock stereo but the Amps and subwoofer are being installed this week after I build a custom subfloor box. I'm going to go a little nuts and try to form up a bandpass design and weld something from 1/4" aluminum...
Wired up the taillight mod plus new reverse LEDs tonight

I dunno. I think you could pull it all together if you did the grill, eyelids, foglight hole covers, and bumper what-chu-call-it in gloss black, maybe? It'd be great if all thise parts had a matte finish that matched, but I have to agree that the matte eyelids might be the weak part of it. But what do I know about style?

I'd guess this has been done already? here's my version
I needed reverse lights after the taillight mod so i thought this "bumper light mod" might look clean. Pretty happy so far, finishing tomorrow after some sealer on the back dries.
The bumper reflector is finished and totally sealed with a lightly tinted vinyl wrap.

Lookin' great sick50ford, still love that Porsche gray/green paint, you wouldn't have the paint code would you?I got plans for my Panel once its retired from "grunt duty".
Speaking of Bob 2 the Panel, it knows the way home now, after 18+ hours in the office yesterday I was on "auto-pilot" driving up from Charlotte.
