If it aint broke, don't fix it!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJQFCDNM This is the one I put in my '23 OBX. My stepson has one installed in his '24 OBX. Easy install and look good. Both of us are very happy with this product. (Tip- You can put one bracket on the other headrest and fold down 1 seat without removing the cover)

I like the look but that would be illegal in New York State and the vehicle would not pass state inspection with it.

Always ask at restaurants. My wife and I are in our 80's and eat out a lot. I find that a great majority of restaurants and other businesses offer a 10% discount to veterans. It doesn't hurt to ask!

Conservative guy that I am, I paint my calipers a flat black. They don't show up at all between the spokes of my chrome mag wheels.

I had to order mine separate and install it myself. Same for the panel under the glove compartment. Also had to order and install illuminated cup holders. All these little things that were deleted over the years by Ford.

I agree. I have a '23 OBX with all these options. I also added things not included like an engine cover, hood insulation and a few more. I really like my OBX, but I will probably be going back to Lincoln to get all the bells and whistles I like when I'm ready to trade.

I'm much more conservative. My OBX is Cactus gray w/ shiny black top. I would like the flat black vinyl roof look like the full-size Broncos have.

I have a '23 Outer Banks. I run 4 conventional snow tires on the factory rims in the winter. In the warmer months, I run the factory tires on mag wheels. For my wife's '20 Ecosport I purchased a set of Michelin Cross climate 2's. I've had them on for a year now with no problems. I don't go...

On my '23 OBX, I bought the factory bumper protector. It was easy to install, looks great, and has held up very well. For the door jambs I went a different route. I did not like the factory ones and felt they were very expensive. Instead, I bought a 12' roll of 2" wide safe way traction tape on...

My bad! I meant Motorcraft FL-910S filters.

Guess I'm old school. I change my oil and filter every 6 months or 5000 miles whichever comes first. I do it myself and use Mobil 1 full synthetic and Motorcraft FL-910S filters. I also manually check my tire pressure monthly.

The Ecosport mirrors don't fold. I don't think the mirrors on my '23 OBX fold either.

I have a stubby antenna on both of my cars. As far as the mirrors my OBX has been fine. However, on my wife's Ecosport, the high-power dryers have blown out the mirror glass twice. I solved that problem by cutting the legs out of a pair of pantyhose. They stretch and form a tight fit over the...

The only downside are Syracuse, NY winters and road salt. I just run 4 snow tires on the factory rims for the winter season.
