    would love to see pics of the red leds.

    paid to have my light racing uca's installed today.
    did the rest of the icon setup myself, but i had trouble with the ball joints so paid the professionals.

    it took them 3.5 hours and it cost me almost $800.00
    i feel like i got robbed...

    Only poor ones. :p The radio is actually on. My point and shoot camera has a tough time "seeing" the orange of the radio against the red of the heater control. The difference in color is best seen by comparing it to the clock in the photos. It looks a bit better in person...really ;)

    mainly cause of the MPGs.

    I like the look of wider tires, but it's not worth the gas IMO

    There's also less rubbing with the 10.50s

    After a single afternoon of wheeling, the 12.50s with 4" BS...

    Haha! Did you take a picture of my frame there:rolleyes:

    Yeah my old 285's with 4.5 bs did the exact same thing. Good thing i asked cause my new 15" steelies have 4" bs, so that wouldnt have worked.

    :thumbsup:

    Yeah I ended up adding 1" spacers so it wouldn't rub the frame but it in turn rubbed the pinch weld area worse. Gonna tub the firewall next...

    I had an 18" blade lying around and I put it on my passenger side.

    Here's pic looking down the passenger side molding. You can clearly see there's is plenty of room between the actual blade and molding and the tip of the wiper is not only short of touching the molding but it is also (hard to see in this pic) elevated about the molding.

    So in short: 18" wiper on the driver side still has plenty of room.
