BensBlackST Build

My wife found my ST1 while she was buying her new Escape. The dealer had a black base ST on the lot.
Since I had just gotten out of the hospital and was still recovering I took it for a half mile test drive and then sat through the paperwork. After buying the car I didn't drive it for the next week because I needed more recovery time.

These are the pics after I had the windows tinted:


The first thing I installed was the homelink mirror:


After that I painted the calipers:


The next thing I did was carbon fiber the dash and other parts:

One more carbon fibered part:


I took the pinstripe off after that but didn't take any pictures. I was thinking about doing a red pinstripe instead of white.

Two days ago I installed most of my Christmas presents: JBR's solid shifter bushings and the hard wire kit for my new Passport 8500 x50.
This finally gave me a use for the "change cup":


The next thing I have coming up is a Blendmount for the Passport 8500 to mount it to the mirror and I have just ordered a Sharkfin antenna.

More to come.........

Today I installed the eFocus RMM but it is very wet out now so I cannot properly test it.

Where'd you get the carbon fiber trim?

How hard was the home link install?

Where'd you get the carbon fiber trim?

Looks like Carbon Fiber vinyl wrapped over the stock trim pieces.

Yes. Is that the case ? If so, where do you get the wrap ? That looks awesome !!

I bought it from Metro Restyling on Amazon. Search for 3m Di Noc carbon fiber sheets. It's about $11 per foot. The hardest part is getting the pieces out of the car.
