Is it b/c it's black? ;)

Thanks bro, this slideshow doesn't even begin to show how much cash I've dumped into this... I pulled some pics off my photobucket and made the thread then I looked it over and was like "that's all I could muster?" LOL

I am soooo glad I ditched that bug guard.. took it off one day to clean behind it and the hood was scratched by one of the bolts! Good thing I paid the dealer to do it b/c they repainted my hood for me :cool:

The future is strong for this WK .. one mod at a time though. :lol:

Irf, I updated it a little bit.

-Thanks to all! Should this thread be moved to the "show-off" section? j/p
-Scott, my ride is inspired by Marlin, you like my black door pillars???
-EZY get those yellow fogs bro! I was using them in the fog last night. I like.
-Hannes, some black reps would look nasty .. or a 2" bb w/ some AEV plinters .... but yeah the bug guard is off.. anyone want a cheap bug guard with all the hardware, pm me.
