Wheels, lug nuts and center caps are the same but did add spacers. 30mm back and 1 inch in the front. IMG_5984.jpg Explorer.jpeg
Going to change the blue Ford emblem to black when I install the intercooler.

@Leadfoot : Yes, very nice, gives it a good clean line to it. I've heard more than one person say they think the 2023-2024 era ST's were the best as FORD had not started watering down the product back then. I know my Job 2 ST (5 Dec 2024 mfgr) sure is watered down but at least I got a donut spare tire before that disappeared.

Black tips look pretty nice ! I was going back and forth between these two and decided to go with the chrome as wifey liked chrome better. :D We shall see how long they would hold up. Hopefully long enough until I would need to replace/upgrade the entire exhaust system.

With 2022 year model, as the manufacturers have just got out from Covid with part shortage. I am not sure what else I am missing on my year model. I noticed some of the STs are missing the "auto park" button option while mine has it. Also, I am glad that I still have the donut spare tire underneath the storage. :D

Hopefully that would give you some ideas. I have difficulty visualizing the final setup unless they are all put together. I wish there are more separation between two exhaust tips on each side but for now, I am pretty happy how the look compare to the factory "fake" ones. :D :D :D

Well they technically didnt delete the spare tire until late 2025. I have a 22 also, Im missing the messaging seats, wifi credit, and park assist delete, but those didnt matter to me.

LOL ! Thanks. I noticed the massaging seats were available on 2020. I am not sure how good they are. I don't feel like my back is being pressured and pushed on while I am driving. It is kind of distracting. :D :D :D
Did they bring back the massaging seats on 2025+ ?

Yes. And then they rolled it into a package.

I think I figured out why the forum did not show the full pictures I uploaded before. They are too big !!! I have to adjust the size of the pictures on my iPhone to 50% of their original size for the pictures to show up.

Anyway, here are several more shots of the exhaust tips I replaced. :)

@drcookie : I want to give you a big shout out for all the info you gave me concerning your exhaust. My best compliment is to emulate what you have done.
