What about issues with the cowl not letting the A/C breathe. Mine is sitting in the garage waiting to be painted but thats still my only hangup. And for the other parts its about Damn time!

The extra material I had to trim out of the wiper hole to make the thing slip on without removing the hood should provide enough airflow.

The first parts are revealed!





I'll be installing these soon. Trying to talk myself into calling in sick tomorrow.

Painter said the cowl was a PITA to work with but he did a good job. Hood looks good. Mirrors look good. Skirt parts are still bagged up and protected.

Looking good Will, just be careful with them on the install and tape all the edges while fitting them to avoid chips. Nothing has more pucker factor than hanging freshly painted parts on a vehicle.

They're bigger than they look.

Honestly I hate the oddly large stock mirrors. So much unused mirror.

The base is the big part. I got my mirrors finished up the other day now just to put them on.

Decided to go into work for half a day instead of starting to put some stuff on the truck. Making money is good. Daughter is maid of honor in a wedding this afternoon too. I'll get started this evening or tomorrow morning on the truck.
