lol, yeah i've seen/heard that PETA one for years now, i think i even have a shirt laying around here somewhere that says the same thing. as to the other one, as a guy, i can appreciate it, but don't let your GF's dad see it. if i were in a fathers shoes and someone was picking up my daughter, and i saw that, the kid would be staring down a barrel of a loaded fire arm real quick....so be careful how you park in front of the gal's house :favorites13:

Trucks coming along! Looks nice! I been looking at those same heads for awhile. Do they stick out at all being just one piece?

Also did you build that box yourself for te back or where did you get it from?

And does that ugly carpet on the door panels just rip off? I want to plasti dip some of my interior pieces with the blue they make because it's a pretty good match but didn't know what to do about the carpet on the panels.

And bedlinered rockers ftw!! My favorite mod this far! Codes, just pull the trigger man you won't regret it :)

Again good lookin trick bud!

They look a lot better than the stock 2 piece.. in my opinion at least..I had a little trouble installing because the mounting bracket on the bottom just tears.

The carpet on the door panels actually is stapled on from behind and llis a ***** to remove. I took the inserts out which I don't reccommend because you have to break plastic welds to do it and you will also always see the staple holes in the plastic.

Also, the speaker box I had to build myself because of the contour of the floorboard

Right on I don't think heads look bad at all!

So how would you reccomend taking the carpet off? Take the panels off and take the staples out from the back?

That box came out looking nice I wanna take out the storage compartments and take mine out and place a box against my back wall
