Default added some ventvisors

Went out to autozone today and picked up some ventvisors and some stick on bullet holes. finally warm enough here in ohio to wash my truck so i installed the shades and stuck the bullet holes on.

From my personal experience-

pros: looks, helps keep the sun out of your eyes, can have the window partially down while raining, supposively helps with wind noise, easy to install

cons: comes loose over time, adds thickness to dodges already thick A-Pillars (visibility)

i was wondering about the black wheels...did you paint factory wheels?

i have the same shades and dont know if i like em. it seems the wind gets caught in the end and shoots back at my face unless my windows are down about a quarter way. had some on another truck and the back end of them were open so the air went thru them, seemed better that way i think.other than that they are great for rain, and i like how they look too...

the bullet hole stickers arnt my thing, i hate any kind of sticker on my vehicles. to each his own.

i bought the truck from a dealer and the rims were black already they are painted a flat black . at first i didnt like them but they grew on me. as for the stickers , my father has bullet holes on his tahoe so i was just paying tribute to him. it took me 42 years to be able to put any kind of a sticker on anything i have ever owned, i look at it like this its my truck and i can takem off if i want too.
as for the ventvisors they are not as thick as the vent shades which i have on my other dakota and i like the vent visors better cuz you can see better when cornering.
