some new mods!

over the weekend i installed some 95mm polished aluminum double bearing idlers, ford windstar fans and decided to change up my wheels a little and put a fresh coat of wax on.

95mm idlers, had to add some more bling under the hood

No on the wheels. Makes them look cheap and iduno, homo'ed. I liked the old ones you had, but just black looks alright as well.

You can take it off? That's cool. How hard is it to take the stripes back off?

Yea, I don't like the stripes, - others do tho.

I think they're lying lol.

I like them better b/c it breaks up the black some. I'm not a fan of %100 black wheels on lighter color trucks... Either black/machined so that the machining breaks up the black some, or something like this IMO looks better. Just my taste though.

Well maybe they'll fly off with that extra bling goin on.
