Think so? I know it looks good on the all black one I just wonder if it will stick out too much on the gunmetal.

Painting I can do myself and get pretty good results so it's pretty much free.

I love that whole black theme that Ford has going on with a few of their models.. I'd definitely do that over the bling bling.

I think it would look wicked if the foglight surrounds were also black.
You should also take the headlight housings apart and paint those black also

The logo looks darker in pics but it looks like a dark chrome. Im most likely going to "untint" the centre so you can see the word FORD better.

LOL they're 16's. Tiny for the car. The tire size is 235/70(yes 70! lol)/16
I have 20x8.5's that are being shipped as we speak. 255/45/20 Silver with machined lip.
My dad saw the grill and said I should colour match it since it "looks like a base model F150" haha.
I'll put some more pics up when I get everything on there (HID, Lamin X lights, LED fogs, Rims, I also debaged the rear)

Don't want to mess with a brand new car that much. I'll lamin X them and the fogs with the lighest tint.

Hey how'd you actually paint it? Did you have to sand it a bit so it'll stick? (I always thought 'aluminum' trim was just basically ghetto sticker/paint.)
Looks like I may have to paint a trim piece on my grill (some fucker backed into it)
And what's up with the HIDs?
I sanded it down before painting and then clear coated it. Your trim on your grill can be painted. I had painted the ugly chrome on the rear of my EL and it looked OEM.

Haha that was so long ago. I've fit 2 girls in the 350 too but they had to sit on top of each other.
My friends are already giving me shit for buying this thing. I actually like it for a daily driver. HIDs are in and just had them adjusted and the ballasts secured tonight. I'm picking up my wheels this saturday so I'll take a couple of pics when they're on. The LED fog bulbs and the Lamin X for the headlights and fogs may take another week or so. The moving bulb (uses electromagnet) for the high beams works pretty well - I cant complain. No nice cut off due to the housings but I have it adjusted so it doesnt bline people and visibility is better (stock it is pretty good for halogens)

I like it. My nieghbour has a white one and all the chrome looks good on it, but the blacked out grill looks much better on the grey.
doesnt Ford offer a trim blackout option on those trucks?
also, where did you get the LED fog bulbs from?

There is a sport appearance package which has blackout items but you are limited in colours. I dont want to deal with cleaning an all black vehicle this big haha.
The foglight bulbs are from http://www.aacstyle.com. I would suggest going to superbrightleds but the bulbs the Escape uses are fairly rare for the aftermarket.
