I agree no white. Not only will it look wierd but it will never remain clean. Since when is red ricey? I say red to match the badge or if you could manage matching it to the body color.

Well so much for my opinion.

Red - I guess I was thinking of one posted the other day when he did his wheels on his Taffy red.

Right I forget stock was black. So maybe red is OK.

Can you do anything about that diaper orange/yellow on the plate? Any personalized plate choices of different background? Oh wait you got a personal one already.

Bill is just going to shut up now and go make dinner for the wife.

You are my source and guidance - I just cooked up a batch of Dutch Pancakes.

Two ricey red features doesn't put me over the top, does it??

I'm also considering yellow.....

Home alone-hound-sirloin-smoker-walking a crab????? There's a plot in there someplace ;-)

Not the wheels, calipers and drums. After a year they've lost their shine. Bill has plugged me into the paint, buddy has a lift [woo], working on the color.

Last week I was at my sister's [nephew got married] did an assortment of German wurst on the grill - phew!! I have a German Smokehouse I can get to now and again. Worth every mile.

Waiting for the pic, with your level of illumination I can only imagine.

3rd backup light

Here ya can see the OEM lights right behind the bumper and ya can see the 12 LED torch down the driveway and hitting the garage door. The overhead light is on and street lights, kinda takes away from the effect. But in the backyard I can see the down the grass and to the gate 50' away.

PS gotta call NASA C-yall ltr

1 vote for red but don't put the Brembo sticker on it upsets some of the ppl's. LOL
But if ya go w/ black you only have to buy 1 can of paint it just makes the callipers disappear

Just installed a hood deflector. I just hope less stupid bugs will die on my hood and leave hard to clean corpses.

Good touch Big Mike. Can you see "rolly polllies" on the ground with them on?

I haven't seen any rabbits of any kind around here... We can hunt raccoons and wild hogs at night but I don't think the Englishman that owns a bed & breakfast and vineyard close by would appreciate it... The neighborhood is going through a transition... The English guy wants to put in a runway he can land his plane on.

TC, No rabbits in Anderson, what happened? The Englishman would be the first one that I've ever known to not luv some rabbit stew
