I'm looking for billet Caps for her now.

I Just sanded them down then took them to a paint and body shop to have painted. the AFE housing was the hardest one to do. for some reason they sprayed the dang thing with armor all from the factory. I had to make real sure I got all that crap off so the paint would stick.

Nope I'm staying in Texas If we were to move Florida the place to go though. We love St Pete's head down that way every couple of years to eat Stone Crab Claws with friends

I live in Sarasota so just south of St Pete, gotta love stone crab season! I've also always found it so cool that you can have all the claws you want without actually cutting down on the population since they regenerate them
