Default 08 XL Facelift (pic heavy)

Hi guys,

I bought my 2008 XL in July and over the past couple weekends have completed several appearance mods.

First off, cloth interior with carpet (had vinyl seats and vinyl floor originally):

Before-


After-



----------------------------------------------------------------

Bumpers and grille:

Before-



During upgrade-




After-




----------------------------------------------------------------

Mirrors:





----------------------------------------------------------------

Tires (30x9.5 General Grabber AT2)



----------

I have several other mods planned, such as fog lights and possibly power windows, locks, and etc. We'll see.

Looks good dude. Love the interior change. If that's a pin stripe, I would remove it.

yeah, if I didn't know better, i would have thought they were OEM covers.

I have him making a similar set for my F150. My F150 came with the plain grey fabric that stains way too easy... For the price, way better than going OE.

thanks! I got a good deal on the front upper and rear bumper, so I pulled the trigger. The vinyl seats were terribly uncomfortable, so I was looking for seat covers on eBay when I found the guy who makes them custom.
