TIE Fighter Build - Carbonized Gray 2023 Maverick XLT Hybrid

[Vettereddie]

Finally got around to (mostly) finishing up what I wanted to do, has been a great little truck so far and 41 MPG to boot!

Started with a 2023 XLT hybrid in Carbonized Grey with BAP and Luxury package and went from there. Still working through a good stereo solution that's non-invasive and need to get the Homelink mirror installed but that's probably about it for this truck unless the Air Design front lower spoiler ever gets back in stock.

Hope you enjoy!

TIE pilot helmet and chest armor, thought it would look nice for the photoshoot.

• Are you enlisted in the 501st?

I should hope so! Inquiring minds want to know!! (Especially this one with some kits I need to build)

Droid is home built from styrene, though there are 3D print plans now. The R2 Builder's Club manages the blueprints and has a ton of build logs. I'm in the local group which is the Mid-Atlantic Droid & Prop Builders.

I'm also active in the 501st with Old Line Garrison. Appreciate the Maverick small size when doing events in DC with parking garage spaces only.

 

[Vettereddie]

Cool. You must get some looks.

I have to ask what is the Smartlink mirror?

I screwed that one up, meant to say Homelink.

Couldn't luck out on a cheap Kia mirror so went with a Gentex ADVGEN40A4, will see if I need any mounting adapters to get it to fit.

I read Smartlink and thought that sounds like a very smart mirror. I like tech, I must have it but couldn’t find anything on the web.
