Mirror blinker mod & new grile - pics inside

I decided to do the mirror blinker mod. Overall it was pretty simple but a little time consuming. Easiest way I found was to remove the glass and front part of the mirror. I also night shaded the front n rear existing blinker.

Also installed new grille. Its is not as good of quality as the carriage works 1 i had but has 8 more bars. From a distance it almost look like no grile with the old 1. New 1 also came with lower grille. Looks nice just sucks bc alot of it is covered with license plate.

Get the ecoboost front plate bracket and it moves the plate over to the left side and free's up the center section

Thought bout that but think that looks uglier n worse being off centered. Just my opinion.

Ain't that just a kick in the ****.

Most of the local cops here have tinted windows on their personal vehicles and are cool with tint for the most part. I always put my windows down when pulled over though lol
