and sport exhaust. Up front I have an Explorer Pro Comp light bar with skid plate along
with set of Hella 500 Driving lights. A few years ago the original hood developed rust, so
rather the just replace it with the standard hood, I ordered a hood and hood scope from
the european Turbo diesel model. All and all I think it gives it that aggressive look it
needed. I also have a set of J-spec ESCUDO emblems waiting to go on.
