should look good chris....dunno bout the orange dash mat though- might be a bit annoying in frontal sunlight?

just looking at those wheels- it looks like you'd have to remove the black insert bits every time you wanted to access the wheel nuts? will have to be very particular who works on your car, i can see the potential for scratched/ broken inserts.

the carpet for the boot lid is a fairly simple addition, can still get them through ford, just clips into place, i think it was around $50 last time i checked.

Haven't been near the XP lately. Too many miles on the bicycle (no motor)! 620k last week in preparation for our ride for Glendyne. 2000k in 10 days.

Thanks, We raised $45000 when we rode for them 2 years ago. That paid for their new oval. I just gotta stop falling off the bike! The injuries are killing me!!!

i think they'll look pretty hot, as long as the inserts don't get lost or damaged if someone works on ya car.

Nice - it could be a sister car to our Battle Ute! Lots of scratches on the roof from loads of trees to the dump.

Cheers
