Those hood stripes look really nice. Where did you get your door sills? Were they pricy?

I got my sills from Dyno Pro. They just came out with them. They were expensive but I like them.

I think you need some new tires. Get some Nitto 555's. They have a badass tread design and really hold the road. If you like to take turns fast or hard you'll like em alot.

Those door sills look bad, I had the same thing done to my grill ,but there is a website that makes chrome ones to fit in there, I look into it more and let you know, I cant remember where I found them, they are close to $100 only bad thing. Where did you get those door sills if you dont mind letting us know hehe. strips look bad *** too.

They are stuck really well. If I wanted to pull them off I would tear them up if I wasnt careful. There is no way they are coming off. The tape is real strong. I know that I had to adjust one of them and pulling the little part that I put down was a PITA. Im not worried about them coming off. I did worry about the clearance between the door and the sill but they don't scrape at all.


GotV-8 - Ill pm you with the site since they aren't a sponser here. These were over $100 just so you know.
