Yeah, and the kicker is, I could have gone with your glass quarter panels because one needed replacing!

The deal killer for me was no additional clearance for tires. The width was good... but I had to trim the corners in the stock rear just to clear 35s!! The fronts have a boatload of clearance. I am quite sure yours fit better though.

And to top it off I have to go with Bushwackers in the rear. I don't care for the mounting (rivets? Ick.). And I found out when I opened the box that they extend down covering the stock bumperettes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Of which I have none. Time to PM Moomba.

So it's off to the Home Depot for some plumbing cement and I have to mod them before Terry can spray them. I don't think Terry wants to touch them. They have to be mounted before modded, which complicates the process.

I really really hate to start drilling perfectly fine rear fenders and very nice paint... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

It's a two part clearcoat paint that is sanded, then machine and hand polished. They do killer work. I do hope the clearcoat is thick... but that's the good thing about clearcoat for minor scratches and God's pinstriping.
