    Because of the way the body rolls under and the wheels throw everything onto the paint I've got to install mud flaps. If I don't the roads I drive on will eat the paint and then the sheet metal away to nothing. Since I drive about 120,000 miles a year it will save the body. I don't necessarily like them and was wondering if they'd look better painted or the original black. Hide 'em or show 'em off? I believe that I can bake them, glass bead them, use adhesive promoter and get paint to stick just fine. Has anyone done this and how'd it work out?

    I did get the windows tinted and that makes quite the difference on a white car. Need some exhaust tips because the stock one's suck. I have some old Borla's off the Vette that I will probably use.

    Get some big floppy rally armor flaps and show 'em off. I'd personally go with about an inch of the flap hanging outside the body.

    Yeah, 'fraid so. About 460 miles a day and I supply my own car and gas. Lots and lots of audio books. I can't move because I deliver narcotics and it just wouldn't help. I already got the factory molded splash guards from GM Parts Direct and was wondering about painting them. I could leave them black and maybe do a carbon fiber wrap on the side skirts.
