Well I hope you like'em! When my truck was white they really stood out and looked great. I've repainted it with a fancy red pearl and these are what I've got on it now with black halo headlights to match.

Oooh. Me likey.... Your truck is looking good. I like your stacks too. I'm running 4" turbo back right now. Does having stacks mess with the backpressure at all. You would think without the length of the 4" pipe going all the way back that you would lose some. How much would it cost me for a stack kit like that. Cuz my stuff is all welded with the downpipe and everything.... haha where did you get that "size matters" emblem? love it. It would be cool to have one of those. I am also looking into the "real trucks dont have spark plugs" bumper sticker.

But by cutting a lot of the pipe off and the muffler you do loose some backpressure and its a hell of a lot louder and you can really hear the turbo whistle. I however put a performance straight through muffler on it with a flange that holds some backpressure in.

Thanks guys! And Dang! Thats a lot just for the stack kit. Not to mention the stacks to go with it. I dont plan on doing this soon, but I think that I eventually will. Probably go with black too. I think I will black out my truck eventually. Minus the bumpers, lights, and part of my grill of course. That would entail getting a black toolbox and black wheels. I might want to wait to get the toolbox til I get the wheels but does anyone have a black toolbox that wants a polished aluminum one by chance?

Should I get these for my tail lights? If so, are there stores that carry them? I haven't seen them anywhere.

I have heard that having led lights can sometimes mess with other electrical things. know anything about this?

The only thing I've heard is the third brake light might mess with the TC lockup, but not sure on that. Almost all LED tails have resistors in them, so you should be ok. I know mine didn't change anything.

Got them in the mail
Hey guys. I wanted to give Mikey a shout out and say thanks! Props to him!
I love the tail lights. They are exactly like he said and they look and work great. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. I should be getting LED 3157's for the back up portion of these any day now. Check them out!
