When it came time for UFC fighter Mike "Quick" Swick to ride in style, he contacted HOT Motorsports, in Santa Ana, California, for a makeover on his '02 Ford F-150. For more on Mike and the end result, check out page 72. In this story, we'll show how the team at HOT Motorsports began things with a stock truck and ended up with a show-worthy fighting machine. Several companies are responsible for making this truck look as good as it does and if you see parts you want for your truck, give them a call at the numbers in the source box.
The crew at HOT Motorsports in Santa Ana, California, began with a stock F-150, with the exception of a 6-inch lift that was already in place. Other than that, the paint was beat, interior well-used, and it did not stand out at all in a crowd. | 
Here is the stock dash. Gray-on-gray doesn't exactly scream custom. |
Brian, at HOT Motorsports started things off by removing several of the interior plastic pieces and sent them off to myautoextras.com for a custom coating. The panels included: a primary dash cluster, window switch panels, door handle buckets, an overhead console piece, and seat bracket covers. |  |

After receiving the plastic pieces from myautoextras.com, Brian carefully reinstalled the coated interior pieces. |

Check out how awesome the dash and interior looks now after the black Zebrano-coated pieces were all buttoned up. You can also see the Ryno Manufacturing billet pedals added good looks to the dark interior. | |
