I'm an engineer with CDO (which is OCD with the letters in the proper order... that's a joke before I get blasted for it. Well, I do have OCD, that's not the joke part). Every new car I've ever purchased I've custom ordered because I can never bring myself to buy a 50 or 60k vehicle that's not...

Well, certainly not the responses I expected. Not sure if additional details will change anything but I'm in this deep, so why not :) The plastic air deflector was not on the window sticker, and was not in any of the paperwork. They never charged me for it. The Bronco was a custom order that...

My perspective is that it has nothing to do with the paint chip. They intentionally obscured a defect and they got caught. Wouldn't have been an issue if when I went to pick it up they said "hey, there's a scratch on here we haven't been able to fix yet, when you get home, get a quote from a...

I got a Matte PPF wrap, which is translucent. It doesn't change the color of the vehicle, so the paint shows through.

OP here, just thought I'd clarify after reading the comments. I know my Bronco is going to get dings, dents, scratches... what has me livid is that the dealer willfully deceived me about a defect in the vehicle. Their online advertised price included the markup over sticker, it was fully...

Long story short, I flew to pickup my Bronco several states away as it was nearly exactly what I was looking for with model/options. When I picked it up, there was a cheap plastic air deflector installed on the front of the hood (the type held on with 3M tape). I figured when I got it home I'd...

Up here in NH I got the Stealth PPF done for 3,500. I should take better pics, its hard to see the matte finish in such bright sunlight. I did have some kids give me a thumbs up at a bus stop, so going to say it looks 'cool'

Would this issue cause the mount to wobble? I just installed the 67D full rail and it has horrible flex front to back. The dash part that's removed in the videos here flexes front to back, so no matter how tight I make the 1/4-20 bolt, it still has horrible wobble.

I just mounted the 67 Designs full rail. The 1/4-20 mounting hole has terrible flex front to back. So no matter how tightly you torque the screw, it has crazy wobble. Is this an issue with my 1/4-20 threaded hole? I can flex my phone a good 1/4" up and 1/4" down based on the flex of the dash.

I tend to listen to rock music the most, and it just sounds garbled when the volume is up, so I'd say clarity to start. I think this is where I'm missing the improvements in technology. I was thinking of getting a 3-way speaker set, but using a passive crossover and use just the kick panel...

Before I start, I should mention that the last stereo upgrade I did was as a senior in HS in 1991... I've been doing my best to catchup to the latest technology, but my questions may be a bit basic. I have a 2-Door with B&O system. Even though I'm not an audiophile, I want something better. I...
