What's new for those shocks other than the new heatsink on the resi? No ACV valves in those right?

The benefit of the ACV valve is on the front from what was explained to me. The rear gains nothing.

Inner fenders, with some square tube to reinforce..... made such a significant difference to add this stuff, was very pleased.
Yikes, thanks for recomending it.

Looks great... I talked with John yesterday about using the skinned inner fenders and apparently it's a more common approach than I thought. He also recommended doing exactly what Yikes recommended and what you've already done! I just seem to be a day late and a dollar short! :shock: This looks great, can't wait to see it all mounted up!

Some more pics, spent a few hours in the garage removing brackets (washer tank, speed control, fuse block, battery bracket, etc etc) in order to have those powdercoated as well.

Game plan is to powdercoat inner skin black, and then all brackets grey (matching the bumpers)

Powdercoat the inners grey and brackets black like we discussed. Your core support is grey - not black from looking at the pics here!

Just finished pulling the driver side OEM fender, and test fitting this (did not drill any holes yet, or mount the skinned inner fenders) and let me just say, TWO THUMBS UP to the fenders from John. No fitment issues at all, as a matter of fact, I would be willing to say I could paint and throw on... no need to trim or anything.

I am seriously pumped about this glass. It looks so nice. You can tell it has a suttle flare.

Just test fitting.... once the inner fenders are in, I will drill out mounts, and then paint. Will not be rolling around on white or grey glass.
