well I dont have them installed.. I can photoshop and color match it for you.
I even have a picture of jakes truck with rockstars on it that was photoshopped a long time ago haha/

This is all I got.. I have to take some new pictures tomorrow. This is an older version of my truck (photoshopped).

Actually I just broke my driver side rear one the other day when I was washing the truck. I figured it was about time though.. I had these same visors on this truck since like 2000.
What ones did you get? I can't go another winter without them. I haven't waxed my truck in a year because I can't stand the water after every morning slipping into my truck as i like the windows rolled down at like all times.. My honda had them and made life way easier.

Mine were double sided taped. And they have lasted through branches pulling on them while driving under trees , car wash brushes , pressure washers , and lots of texas heat .

by the time you add up the cost of the two-sided tape and the time and effort it takes to re-tape the tape-on visiors LIKE I HAD BEFORE you could of just spent more $$ ON A QUALITY PRODUCT and NOT had to re tape them!! I learned my lesson!!!

wow. lots to read here. but all y'all have some great ideas. I felt the need to chime in here because i have a few things to clear up...

OK State - just OK
OSU - no bueno
OREGON DUCKS - Yes please. 5 in the nation? 5? mmhmm.

All the trucks on here are sick. LightningExpo, you have the sickest expedition i have ever seen.
@str8t - Alabama vs. Oregon in Glendale, AZ January 10, 2011. See you there?

Tyler... oh god... First off, I have seen osu play real teams so far.. The ducks play the non ranked or horrible teams. Why brag about that, when the season starts ... Maybe then you can talk, maybe more so towards the end of the season... December 4th maybe, will you be at that game?? I will!


Back on topic now!

I may just try the cheaper ones, if they work perfect.. If they have problems I will just sell them and go with the more spendy ones. I personally found out that more spendy doesnt always mean better quality but in this situation who knows. Only way I can find out is first hand, right now I would rather spend 30-50 bucks over 150 and put the extra 100 towards something else..

Other than that, anyone know of a how to, or way to take off the bottom vailance. If the weather is good tomorrow I want to paint the fender flares / bottom vailance. Any techniques on how to take these off would be great, the flares just have screws that pop off correct?
