Or short skirts??
They're actually used for when you have the doors off. Some state laws require you to have mirrors (with the doors on or off). This way when you take the doors off you have mirrors. Really, do you need mirrors when the doors and top are off. You can see with no problems when everything is off. This is just so you bid by the state law if required. They cover your a$$. This is just an inexpensive way to have mirrors when you need them.

As far as boobs and skirts, not so much :( lol.

Here are some awesome, IMO, cheap modifications that I have completed in the last couple of weeks:
Bedlined fenders and bumpers
Tow hook install (thanks to saFFFari's generously donated parts!)
Daystar hood wranglers (way better fix than the zip tie mod!)
Daystar dash console replacement
Daystar 3/4 inch BB (looks great with 265/75/16 treadwrights IMO)
Mag light with mounting brackets (brackets only $6 at ACE)

Sorry no pics of the lift, it's pretty subtle anyway.

How did the fenders turn out? My 08 has the super dull fenders that look like crap, I'm not ready to replace them.
Can you post up some "after" pics??
Thanks!!

Of all the mods so far this is my favorite. I've been to Home Depot and Lowes and neither one has it. Do you know who makes it or maybe a model name? Thanks

I'll put some before and after pics of the bedlined fenders and bumpers. It took quite a bit more spray than I anticipated to get a good thick even coat but it is worth it! (Lots of prep work...) I recently pushed my neighbor's truck up our driveway with my front bumper and some of it flaked off... So I simply sprayed the spot and whalah! Just like it never happened, like a spray on bandaid. Poor man's solution to faded bumpers and trim.

About the mag light placement: the clips are super sturdy and I definitely considered the projectile possibilities should it come loose, but after feeling how sturdy the clips were I wasn't worried at all. To each their own!
