dont forget the fake carbon fibre around the stereo

 

sounds like the fx4's come with a lot of variations not listed on the ford sites.

 

sorry, but they are still DARK GREY! I can see the difference on my truck, they are not the same as the mirrors/handles, but I admit are close in color. If you had the lower dark grey two-tone color, then you could see that they are actually dark grey.

 

Has anyone heard from the original poster? I'm curious to know what heppened... he kind of dropped off.

 

Also no Audiophile option in XLT, PLUS I recall reading starting in 2005 Ford needed to reduce build costs so on every level excluding Lariat/FX4, by reducing sound deadning material.... So XLT 2005+ means cabin is louder...

And yes the flares on a FX4 are dark grey almost a flat balck, but Ford calls em dark grey. That said on my all black Fx4 they do look almost black... but as said earlier on a two tone unit they start to look more grey... Although they are darker then the dark grey paint. This always bugged me as now you had 3 diff shades going...

My friends 07 FX4 has 3.55's, not sure why though? (especially w/20's)

 

The FX4 has 400 hp and 550 lb torque with the optional diesel engine. 35's with a standard 4" lift from the factory. (I wish)
