mud flaps might look better color matched IMO

Mud flaps look the best when they're in a box in the garage.

Looking good. I just ordered these in hyper black for my titanium silver. Not sure if I made the right color choice now...

I made the same order and changed my mind at the last minute. I think the HB looks good but to pull it off right you need to do shadow line, black grills. smoked markers maybe smoked tails.

The silver seems to bring out the concavity more then the black.

wheels look great!! I really dont think the mud flaps look that bad. Are you getting rid of them? Might consider buying them....
Your doing a fantastic job at helping the economy! I think I will hang on to them though and put them on in winter again, sorry.

It's a newer house and i haven't put concrete down yet. Not sure if I will, we get lots of freezing and thawing in the cooler months and the neighbers cement is all cracked and looks like crap. For the cost to pave it I would rather just keep spreading the 3/4 down around every few years and put the cash towards mods!!!

That 10 inch rear is amazing. I was leaning towards the 710s on my XI but after seeing your setup I am so tempted.

Looking good. If only they came in 20s. I'll probably still get a set for the track though.
