Project, your X looks good with the lift. How's it feel not to see anything on your front right? I just cross my fingers sometimes.

Most X's that are lifted have them for a very good reason...

Toreador is right. I have many blindspots as you have probably found out also. My blindspots are the lower sides of the rig and the front right, not to mention directly in front and rear of me. I had a car pull up so close that they sat off my parking sensors trying to get under me. Yeah, I had to let the coal roll!!!!

I'm looking for a set right now. I have to find the right ones tow mirror with defrost and signal for the right price. It's hard for me to spring for a set of mirrors at 350 or so when i have mirrors already. I'm the type that would rather use the money for something that is going to improve ride or performance like the steel braided brake lines that are in the mail.

Back in 2000 and 2001 Toreador Red was the rarest of the rare and the most beautiful (and expensive) color you could get. It still is...I get complements everywhere I go!

Check out the FTE parts guy, he may be able to give you a better deal than your dealer or even ebay is giving you...
