    gradually replacing the bumper with hairy bondo ;-)
    194 LEDs (I think) if you are looking for colors.

    Red (or orange) beats blue for actual use - red does not mess with your night vision, blue does. I know blue got all faddish right after blue LEDs showed up, but it's still a poor idea. It's the one thing that really irritates me about the ultragauge (more white than blue, I guess, but still) - perhaps after the warranty is over I'll hack red or orange LEDs into it. As it is I have the brightness reset to range from 0-40% and its still perfectly readable (so 0 is not really 0.)

    It wasn't bad. It took a few hours of use of a drill, grinder and sawzall with a little bit of bending of the brackets. Definitely worth the work

    So you didn't have to fabricate a new bracket or anything. Just manipulation of the existing stuff?

    No fabrication at all! The biggest thing I had to do was drill a hole through the floor to bolt one of the four legs. Two of the four need to be manipulated and one of the four lines up and can be bolted as is

    Airaid intake tube! Huge sound difference. Little bit better acceleration off the line.

    Just got it back from the SHOP...inspection( passed :) ) and alignment :eek: both toe and camber needed adjustments.....that does explain why the Geos disappeared quickly and why the Grabbers will be around for a long time.....;)

    Now if this dam rain slows or stops it needs a quick in & out detailing....need it to commute to my "Big truck" all next week due to being leased out to another company...:rolleyes:....
