Horses for courses....
+1 on flatfourfan. I dont think that they fit. Also, in the position they are, they would be more likely 'scoup' water during a downpour. I would have thought it would be better to point them downwards.
anyway, just my view. Like he said, dont take it the wrong way though... It does look tops from the front!

I have the air box intakes on the load body.In a down pour they will most probably take in more water than the side pods.I had the grills on the load body refurbished in a silver powder coat,so when the silver EMPI,s go on it will all work together to get the style I hope to achieve.I will piss-off a couple of purists,but hopefully make it something unique.
Damn,I'm good!

It took me the whole afternoon to fit this one wheel,because I had to insert bolts into the drums to fit the wheelnuts onto.But I think it looks great.What ya think?
