2003 Expedition Face Lift Begins

[Adieu]

Paint the whole truck in the humvee desert color!!!

Was playing with a different painting scheme. I think what I didn't like about the way it is is that the beige doesn't line up with the rest of the trim... not only is it higher but the line is angled upward so it looks off from the side.

I personally like this look the best. Because it looks like a factory bumper and how it is painted.

Plus I think you need another 3"

Ha ha... I think I'm good with what I have for now .

How would you rate the body lift in difficulty? Was it pretty straight forward? Looks AWESOME!

I'm expecting a couple more cans of paint on Thursday... I love Amazon! So I'll paint it up to see what she looks like.

Thanks man it was about a 4 to put on. The hardest part was cutting and welding new brackets to lift the front and rear bumpers

If I match the level of the trim, and take it across the front, it ends up looking like this...

I think I'll paint it up to see what it looks like in real life. I sort of like it but not sure if it looks weird with the half and half split across the fog lights.

I like the look. What did you use to fill in the gap between the bumper and the trim?

Thanks John! I haven't filled in the gap yet. That picture is just a mock up. I just pasted a beige color rectangle there . When I get back from my business trip I'll have a piece of plate welded in there.

I received the spray paint today and did a little late night painting. I only painted the white to lower it down to match the level of the rest of the trim. I'll get the beige next... see how I can bring the beige down from the trim to the bumper. I'm really liking how this is turning out!
