Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Concept

10/27/2006, 5:04 PM

By admin

Ford is once again tapping Funkmaster Flex’s customizing talents as part of a unique marketing relationship announced in May 2005. Already known for tuning celebrity rides, Flex will showcase his interpretation of the new Ford Expedition at the 2006 SEMA show next week.

The 2007 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Concept features a complete Street Scene Body Kit, 24-inch wheels, two-tone black and redfire paint and a complete custom interior with DVD screens and performance audio system. Ford selected Flex to be the first customizer of the all-new 2007 Expedition after his successful work with other Ford products like the 2006 Ford Fusion, F-150 and Mustang.

I can’t stand this crap. Because that’s what it is…CRAP.

I don’t understand these “Customizers” & “tuners” out there that slap a bunch of electronics, rims, tv’s, etc. and they called it their own creation.
For example; That garbage show on speedtv called “unique” or whatever. Those guys have no talent whatsoever. They put rims and tv’s on a truck, and WHAM! Now people think they have talent and give ‘em their own show. Waste of time & money in my opinion. Same thing about Flunk Master Flex. Guy doesn’t know jack **** about cars, yet he THINKS & TALKS like he does, and now has his own show.
These people have NO TALENT at all, yet people look up to these guys like they’re car gods. Give Jay Leno a show about cars, then you’ll have something.

OMG EVERYONE…check out the new Expedition Concept FMF came out with. Isn’t it “OFF DA HOOK”? He put rims, stripes, seats, and painted interior trim peices. OMG so out of this world I tell ‘ya.

Sorry for the vent people. People like this just piss me the hell off.
*puts flame suit on* …im ready.

Sorry guys, I just read the article. I don’t know how I forgot this, but it ALSO has an upgraded audio system and dvd screens in it… WHOA!

That’s Blingtastic. It’s not too over the top, I like the paint lines FMF used. But someone stole the cigarette lighter! I like FMF he’s a cool cat.

Did you guys see the “Boss 5.4″ Expedition that Christopher Titus had built on RIDES? Even though it was an older gen Expedition, I liked the styling better. Super charger, Shaker hood, Boss Style Stripes…

I know what you mean about Unique Andre. Those guys are terrible. I wouldn’t buy a tweeter from them let alone have them do a bodykit or something. I saw one EP where they screwed up a AMG S55 doing a silly $12k kit. Bad paint or something… Lack of talent more likely.

BUT Funk Master Flex is a cool guy, and he does know his cars and bikes. He just can’t afford them on Leno’s scale. But I know what you mean about the slew of “pimped” car shows. They all look the same after a while, and how many TVs do you need in a car anyway???

^^^What do you mean, “how many TV’s do you need in a car anyway?” ;)
You need as many TV & “distractions as you can possible put in one vehicle. As if you didn’t have enough responsibility while your driving safely down the road and making sure all your passengers and pedestrians in good hands, you NEED to have screens EVERYWHERE. LOL.
And who can forget about the upgraded audio systems in these. It’s great when you have ambulances or firetrucks behind you whaling their horns for you to move out of the way, and you can’t see or hear **** because you have 2% tints all around, and your blasting your music loud enough so the whole neighborhood can hear you. I’ve seen it happen.

There I go again on a rant. I apoligize again guys. Just expressing my opinions & points of view.

hey now… the tint is important. Gotta have limo black glass… how else am I supposed to spark a bowl while driving and not get busted?

Yeah, i hate those customizers!! LLN overkilled all that by posting crappy customized new cars every other day. Every year, the customized styles have been getting more tackier and more tackier!! ENOUGH!!!

I wouldn’t drive that FMF Expedition cuz of that cheap painted dash with tacky audio/screen with loose buttons. Ewww!

No disrespect to Funkmaster Flex, but he should quit all that before other lame, dumb peeps follow! He should stick to whatever he’s doing than to touch a new car.

The more you tune, the more you depreciate your ride… at least in most cases.

The guy should just stick to DJing because that’s just what he’s(apparently) good at.
The guy doesn’t install anything himself. He has people that do it themselves. Same thing with the Unique rides guy on speedTv.
People like Chip Foose, Titus, Orange County Choppers, etc. have talent. They “work” hard for their respect and fame. THEY have the experience to back it up.
Like I said before, the can’t probably can’t change his headlight bulbs himself. Has to most likely get one of his guys to do it.
All he can do is talk all hard in the mike and babble about rims and systems. “Ey yo! Dis Funk Masta FLEX hittin’ ya wit dis tight whip heeya”.

Flex is just speaking to a different demographic Andre. You’re not in it. I agree Foose has mad talent, and I think the chopper guys are cool. I wasn’t impressed with Foose’s Tahoe, but then I hate the new Tahoe. Didn’t like the old one either. So it could have been covered in nekid ladies with sunshine coming out their asses, and I still wouldn’t want one. The real douche as far as TV car people goes is Boyd Cottington. The one car he built I like was Chezoom 10-15 years ago. Other than that he licks yambag.

LoL Did anyone notice the Ford logo they photoshopped on each of the pictures of Funk no-talen Flex?
They’re graphic designer/photographer needs to get fired. Probably the same guy who horibbly PS’d the wheels on the GTI anniversary golf in the other LLN article.

With regard to Flex’s customizing talent, I have a pair of the Funkmaster Flex shoes made by Lugz, and they’re honestly one of the best pairs of shoes I’ve ever owned. Three or four pairs of shoes later and I still find myself wearing the FMF Lugz all the time. Sad thing is I don’t think I can buy new ones anymore. I guess I’ll have to settle for this Ford Expedition. It’s really more of a boot, though.

Not my style, sorry. One more tuner that stays off my list. Normally I like what tuners do to vehicles, but some just go over-the-top, like that stupid Hummer tuner, or that asian tuner installing 10′ wings on a BMW.

Some of you say real ignorant sh*t. None of us know FMF and people assume he doesn’t know anything about cars? Plus, anybody can have a “relation” with cars including DJs. If you like cars you like cars.

At least he keeps with the hip hop standard, supreme ugliness. Just don’t shoot the tv. Foose’s was better looking anyway but I still hate SUV’s. Unfortunately some white kids are going to imitate this. Anyone with the name funkmaster flex has to be a loser.

Shawn1982,
He DOESN’T know anything about cars. Well, not enough to have his own TV show like others who actually deserve him. What happened was Music career when to ****s and he needed something else.
And yes, your right…anyone can have a relation with anything, that’s true. Doesn’t mean they deserve their own show.
Shawn1982, how am I saying ignorant sh*t? It’s true we don’t know him, but you can tell he doesn’t know anything about cars just by hearing him on TV. He’s the one that says the most ingnorant meaninless sh*t.
Notice when he is interviewing or speaking to someone about cars on one of his episodes, he relates to them right away when they talk about rims, paint,audio systems and so on. But once they start getting technical, he chokes and just says, “yeah, yeah, I know what you sayin’.”
I said it before and i’ll say it again, he’s TALENTLESS.

He gets press for that? I did the exact same thing to my first car (’73 Capri 2.6) with $10 in spray paint from Kragen and a Tijuana upholstery job.
.
Btw … I drove that car 3 years and sold it for more than the total of everything I put into it (except gas) so don’t diss the magic of a can of spray paint.

One other thing … how fat is this dude that he makes the FlExpedition look small in comparison? Relatively speaking, I’d look smaller than that standing next to a CRV.

Sorry, I guess I was talking to James then. I mentioned black ppl because that’s the counter I get all the time. I was just trying to dispell it prematurely this time. I understand you don’t want to see this stuff on TV, and you said taht in your first post, and I respected your opinion (I’m on this site a LOT and I watch it every minute) but then you kept going on about it. I personally got tired.

PS: I accept your flame as I knew it was coming but I felt I was going to explode if I didn’t say something.

Also, ppl don’t refer to poor white ppl as “ghetto” in general. Whether you meant it that way or not, when most ppl say that, they mean African American and Latino.

So typical of this board.
LLN will eventually go away if this stuff isnt curtailed.
People who want to write, and interact intelligently with others about cars will not stay here for long due to this kind of garbage. (IMHO)
