chrome trim that @MAG had posted about from Global Auto Shop

Nice touch, but Yelp

They have standard and premium materials for the chrome strips, about $9 difference, $52-$43.
Or just get 16ft of chrome stripping from Amazon for $10?

BTW, what color is your Lightning, black or silver?

I didn’t even look at the reviews when I ordered I got the premium ones. I guess I could have gotten the Amazon chrome stripping. My Lightning is silver.

I was disappointed that my XLT 312a order did not come with the tailgate light bar (ordered 3/22), so finally have my substitute using the Lightning specific Ford Accessory part, the Putco Blade.

My Lightning is silver.

I got confused by the hood deflector darkness, where did you get this? I have had a tiny chip there within the first 1K miles!

I’m pretty happy with it all. Hopefully the wrinkles disappear soon.

Then, I got the Ford Mudflaps and painted them with the oil pen @BennyTheBeaver recommended here / on Reddit. I did three coats; they came out awesome!

Thanks for the reminder!
got the pens that @BennyTheBeaver recommended and did up our 2 lightnings.

Looks great! We love to see the personalization.

They look great! Did you do them yourself? Where did you get the leather from?
Others who have done leather upgrades, do the wrinkles come out, and if so, after how long?

From what I read. A couple weeks of summer sun should take the wrinkles out.
These are leather seats out of a lariat. Got them on eBay.

Nice! Did you modify the rear armrest or did you buy a listing that was already modified? Also did you do the install yourself? If so, how was it? Did you destroy the cloth coming out to preserve the clips or did you try to disassemble to keep the cloth usable?

I had a local shop do it all. Bought the unmodified set for $137

If you don’t mind, what did you pay the shop to do it? What kind of shop do you look for to do work like this? I’m thinking of trying it on my own, but if the install price is low enough, it might be worth not dealing with the hassle.

$850 but it required more sewing. The rear seat needed the arm console sewed up and the 4 embroidered badges needed sewn up. Without the extra sewing it would have been $600

Nice, did you go to an upholstery shop or something?
