I know you've never seen this poll before so here goes. Also, I'm pretty much decided on the black facia.

Dude,
why are you asking us? I know, we need another BSM thread!

Seriously, I think whatever you like would look great. I think the painted rear lower fascia would look great as well.

Quit worrying about your BSM's and lower the damn 4x4 you drive! Visit pfadt.com and drop about 3 inches off that Vert.

I vote keep'em. They really look good on or off, but since they offer some door ding protection and spice up the side a little, and they're already on there anyway, I don't see a need to get rid of them.

It's on the list. I already lowered all the way on stock bolts. I was going to start with Bilstein Sport Shocks and lowering bolts and see where I end up. Coilovers are on the list but fall after headers and tune.
