Hi all, I havent been very active since I joined, but I really want to share the progress of my truck. My first truck was a 99 2.5 Ford Ranger that I converted to 4wd using a D30 axle. Because of gas and the need for more room I traded it for a Mazda 3 (bad decision, worst of my life). Later on the need of a higher vehicle and an auto trans because of my gf-future wife came in. Thats how I ended up with a 03 3.0 Sport. Its a 2wd but so far I love it almost as I loved the Ranger. Its such a great vehicle that my brother got one too!
I will post pictures of my Urban Assault Vehicle ASAP

** working this from my phone so give me a while to figure how to post pictures correctly** Got it on Feb 2nd. The previous owner installed the Nativa hood scoop and tailgate spoiler. Since they are fiberglass replicas, the hood scoop looked awful so I took it off. Then I did some touch ups on the interior. the handle bezels looked fugly and the dash had some stains and faded spots. So I did some painting once I installed the Pioneer DVD Duplicolor Graphite metallic gray did the job.

Later on i got HID lights. 10k IIRC The tailgate garnish was faded and scratched, so I came up with this idea to improve it went a bit crazy and added some camo to the front emblem and window visors (dont worry i took it off later from those) Some Pictures

Nice! I like the 3d carbon fiber idea. You beat me to the punch... LOL! However...I have had a request in with my vinyl shop for a price quote since....ummm.... this time last year! Yipes!!! I was to have some 3d carbon fiber in white made for my emblems... Shaking my head... I need a new vinyl guy. He works the same business hours as me, so getting by there with the rig is a pain. He never remembers to returns my calls. If I go in person he is on point though. They stay so busy with the Police departments and Fire Departments... I'm low man on the totem pole.

It looks really nice, as a matter of fact I will go pick up some LEDs I ordered for the dash gauges, so I will add some of that vinyl to the gauge cluster and HVAC controls, hopefully i will be able to do it this weekend I hear you, all vinyl/sticker places here are like that. that is why I got a roll of this stuff on amazon and decided to try my luck. so far I've done a decent job hahaha. I am really thinking about new wheels for christmas, but I want to pay off some debt as well...

Update! I finally had a chance to install the LEDS, its an amazing improvement! i tried to get some c/f vinyl to the gauges bezel but it was not working so I ordered an overlay for it, also I ordered some T5 LEDS for the HVAC and shifter illumination. Got a little c/f accents on the HVAC controls, looks really nice Coming up next is a backup camera and a complete tune up.
