    Tracy Design GAUNTLET. It is too bad it has cloudiness down low, not sure if that is fixable. I found a slipstreamer that is tinted and shaped very similar and it's only 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider...

    She looks awesome Vince.

    Just a warning though. (and probably not your fault)...keep AWAY from the tires with the armor all or any other tire treatment. OR at least be extremely careful. The LAST thing you want to do is get it leaned into a nice curve only to find out someone greased that section of tread you would really like to bite into the road.

    The alternator cover is just waiting for you!...it'll look nice on there.

    I wasn't sure about the clear signal lights, but I LIKE EM.

    Now you just need to polish that brake drum out :p :p and put a couple thousand miles on it.

    Yes, Armour All is never going to touch the tires again, PO did it for show and sell...so to speak. I don't use it.

    :) Thanks for the nice comments!
