Ideas to make '14 Limited look a little different.

[Yoop33]

I have an Expy 13, Ive changed all lighting to LED. Upgraded the original 20 tires to 22s and ordered/installed the Platinum level rims.

How do you like the ride on the 22"s? I used to have a aftermarket set that I loved, but the ride was a lot rougher compared to 20"s.
And if you dont mind me asking, where and how much did you get those Platinum wheels from/ for?

I went with the polished billet grill. I also added the rear chrome trim from the 15/16 to my tailgate. Yes it's a stock part but I think it looks far better than the original

Where'd you get the rear chrome Expedition thing from the 15+ models?

Did it drop right in, or require some convincing to fit?

he explains it on page 2 of this thread. I like it too and want to do both that and the billet grill in the future!

The badges are held on by automotive double-sided tape. a heat gun should take them off.

This is what Gixer said earlier about putting on the trim piece.

It attaches just like the stock trim except you need to drill 6 holes in the liftgate for the extra push pin fasteners. I also needed to remove the stock badges that were in line with the moulding. The wiring required a little more work. The plate light sockets are not the same so you need the wiring harness. Took like 2 hours to get the whole thing done but worth it. The glass release is now under the N and my aftermarket camera fit right into the factory socket on thr moulding

No holes behind the badges but I don't know the part number. If you look at my last post I left a link for one thats for sale.

FYI, only the oval Ford badge has alignment holes. Not that you'd want to take it off or anything.

There are various part numbers for the liftgate trim, depending on regular length or EL, chrome or the satin dark grey, nearly black finish, etc. FL14- F43404-A, for example, is the EL chrome trim. It has "EL" molded/raised on the passenger side.

I've had 20s, 21s, and 22s on my truck and honestly the ride difference is negligible. Tire quality is an important factor.

Anybody have the OEM part number for the rear lift gate chrome nameplate bezel that gixer installed? The part number Flexpedition listed above is for the EL; I have a regular length

You are probably going to have to call your Ford dealer to get the part number. From what I understand they are about $400 new. You might find one in a junk yard. My service told me that before they warranty that part, Ford make the take pictures of it from all angles to make sure that nobody tried to pry it off. So they must be pretty pricey if they are doing that.

@gixer2000 is there any alignment tabs or ring to make the projector sit perfectly upright in the housing or is it a guessing game?

It naturally sits into the reflector straight but I always recommend lighting them up before putting the housing back together. Mark the halogen bulb cutoff and just make sure the projector cutoff hits the same mark on a wall or garage door

I have though about having the grill wrapped in a brushed aluminum looking wrap. I think that would look good and provide protection to the grill.
