Is the gloss black front grill trim adhesive?

Yes I found a seller on eBay that had the Ford emblem cover, and the grill covers sold together. Then I put the red vinyl on myself
I've been watch those. I bought a couple interior bezels from that seller but have been concerned about how well they will stay put.

I bought some extra 3m tape when they came in, since the applied tape didn’t look the 3m molding tape I was used to. Kind of looked thin and rather stiff to the touch. Between my actual 3m body molding tape and the original they are very secure.

Sharp ! I like the AD front spoiler, not sure I can swallow the price tag . Does AD ever have sale ? I’d like to have their hood scoop too.

Love it! How hard was it to install the vinyl on the hood?

I lucked out when Fast Mavericks had a bunch come in and he sold them with free shipping. I live in NY with 7% sales tax and didn’t have to pay the tax on my order either. So for me it was a nice savings. Air Design is charging $73 for shipping. They are on sale 10% off on their website.

Hood was relatively easy, I tried doing the roof and have failed 3 times. I believe my issue on the roof is I ceramic coated the truck and the vinyl just won’t stick around the ridges on the roof. They are just to sharp and get air bubbles. The hood is relatively flat so the ceramic coat wasn’t as much of an issue. Note to self, ceramic coat after applying vinyl.

Just installed the Focal RSE 165’s. If anyone decides to buy through Crutchfield these speakers come with plug and play adapters, however, there is an issue with what Crutchfield is shipping. The tweeter adapter is not exactly plug and play. Crutchfield tried to remedy the issue and sent me new adapters but they were the same as the original. I had to cut and trim the adapters and they now fit. Keep in mind that stereo and wiring are my least favorite thing to do, but I managed not to mess things up too badly.

Looks like they send out Metra 72-5603 for the dash (and rear). Is that the one you had?
I have been looking at an amp and speakers for a while and now you have me curious as to what cutting and trimming I may have to do...

Yes, its the 72-5603 that didnt work for the tweeters. The tab on the harness was on the wrong side. I had to trim out the adapter to make it work.
Yikes lol. I guess anyone ripping into their dash and door panels needs to be able to homebrew stuff like that, but I know I would've been "annoyed" the first time I tried to plug that square peg into a round hole.Yes, its the 72-5603 that didnt work for the tweeters.

Good intel. Thanks.

Crutchfield immediately sent out replacements thinking they were packaged wrong, but they were the same.
You also have to splice in the crossover which took some homebrew. Since I had 2 sets of the adapters I was able to make it work with the connections.
that is a super clean mild pro street look, i absolutely love it. I am up in queensbury near lake george, have had mine for about a month now, love this freakin little truck
