95_318SLT, yes I keeping it debadged except for the fenders which I will put new badges on.

The pinstriping was on the truck when I bought it, and so where the steps. The pinstriping is hand painted on and I will most likely not take it off until it looks like ****. I think with the added tool box and brush guard it balances out the pinstripe. I was considering taking off the steps too, but I've gotten used to them being there and they are painted to match, so they are staying until I break one then I'll take them off.

And rtdakota, I'm poor. I bought the flowmaster used. If I don't like either of these mufflers, then I'll keep the exhaust with no muffler with a turn down tip. I like it loud, and I like it to sound mean, and believe me it does.

I wish I took pictures of the before and after when I washed/waxed it. The clay bar did an amazing job of cleaning up the paint.

And just so everyone knows, I have the 4.7 too.

Hey how are you liking your in channel vent visors I have yet to install mine and my dad told me if you dont install them like 100% correct that the window will hit it when it goes up. Also it doesnt sound all that loud maybe if you get a high flow cat that will open it up some more.

I like them. I installed them, but the are tapping the window slightly when it goes up, but it's only because you have to give it time to compress the tape. I noticed today it's actually gotten better. The tape is compressing and the window is going up easier. Much easier. And it's only tapping in one spot now. If it really starts to bother me, which right now it doesn't, I just ignore it, then I'll file down the little corner where it's hitting.
