    Thank you sir, It means alot coming from one of the best 5 luggers.

    Yea I thought so to. Then I saw those stickers on sockmonkey's "extra" decal page and he gave them to me for a pretty good price so i jumped on them.

    I was thinking about it but Then I would have to cover up the circle nobs somehow?:confused:
