Final round of dealer v. me when I bought my FX4, I agreed to their last price, if they would throw in all-weather floor mats and splash guards - they said yes and asked how many splash guards - I stated I would like both front and rear. I did not specify which I wanted, so they made the decision to include a set of Gatorbacks. When I pulled them out of the box, I was pleased with all but one thing - was not too fond of the chrome 'Ranger' on the metal panels - have the black out package on the FX4.

So after a little contemplating, decided to see how the metal panels would look flat black - pleased at the moment with the results - will see how long the paint lasts - might flex-seal spray them next time for a more rubbery texture . . .

Running boards will stay relatively clean now.

I think they came out really good.

I paid it off this morning.

I had made 5 payments so far and didn't feel doing that anymore. There was no penalty for early payoff.

It has 871 miles on it now. :) I'm hoping it'll be the last vehicle I ever purchase.

It always feels good to pay something off. Congratulations!

The giant, inexplainable opening under the grille/bumper was bugging me, so I did the Putco bumper grille insert. I REALLY hate dealing with those little panel and trim clips but overall it wasn't difficult. In case anyone is interested I've attached a picture of what's behind that valance so you know where the clips are when pulling. The other side is just mirrored...

Mounted this one below using a magnet based phone mount. That way I could angle it for natural use. I see some people mount it here and it is straight vertical, not sure why they do that.

Since its held on by a magnet I can pop it off to still plug something in usb if I need to, then pop it back on. I spliced it into the same power wire as my dash top box. Easiest install ever. I'll show some pictures, but I run the harness behind and down the center console, it comes out briefly by the driver side passenger area, goes under the floor matt, then up under the back seat to where all the electrical work will tie together to feed out the rear.

That is awesome. Please send more info on the mount used. I love the idea of the magnet mount so you can remove it to still get to the usb ports. It looks good too and your totally right with the tilt vice the straight backward.
