Ron, how much was it to paint the door handles and mirrors. I am getting about alotta $$ after the summer so its Clear Image Headers and Spintexh muff. and Random tech cat, and if I have much left over I am interested in that. It really smooths out the looks.
You need some clear corners, that would kick it off!

I dont think they look backwards, looks fine as it is. But I dunno.
Who makes those weatherflector things. I like the idea of them but I havent seen any slim ones like that. Those would be great in rainy Vancouver!

Ron, they look the same. As long as the tires were mounted correctly with the V pointing towards the ground (while going forward) than all should be good.

We have a problem in the Army mounting the Goodyear Wrangler M/Ts on HMMWVs since they are directional also. A lot of times the left side will be correct and the right side will be backwards.

Kevin - The tires are pointed correctly, thats what I looked for when I picked her up. But look at the sweep of the rims. Shouldn't the sweep be in the direction of turn. Imagine the left and right front swapped (not worrying about the tires for a moment)...See how then the sweep of the rim would be in the direction of rotation moving forward........I think its wrong.....

Outlaw- The complete painting/mounting package was $1500. Not sure how much just the mirrors/handles would be. This is the same guy that did my Ram, I know him well and get a good deal (Precious Metals in Woodbridge, NJ). He does great work at low prices......The weatherflectors are from Weathertech. You can get them at Summit, Whitney and lots of other places. They fit inside the window channel, which is why I choose them. I don't care for the 3m tape on ones like the Ventshade's.....

Everything looks SWEET but you were cheated out of the V8 badge in 2001.

The paint looks nice and smooth, particularly the hood.

Question What do you mean "cheated out!"

Badges, we don't need no stinking badges!!!!

Besides, it says 5.9 R/T on the side. That should be sufficient!

We know what 5.9 means but there are a lot of people (like my wife) that don't but knows what a V8 is.

RonWilson, I think your rims look fine. I would have mounted them that way. I have a question. Where did you get your Clear Image headers? I found a website, but they only list Impala SS headers. Thanks.
