I want to lol but as a married man who has a bad habit of going overboard with car parts it's not up to me lol. She keeps me in check

I always said "remember that in richer and in poorer thing we did?" lol

Lol she would reply.... do you want to be poor or do you want to buy a house. I would reply..... wouldn't buying a house make us poor lol

I did it last year and didn't miss them. I figured that if I went a year without them and didn't notice, I'd leave them off. I used to smoke years ago and that's mainly why I used them I think. But like the tobacco habit, I'm now off the visor habit too. And the rear wiper habit although in reality I never used that damn thing.

Yea I guess it's not too bad. Last summer here sucked tho. Rained almost everyday. Was so annoying to have my window down and have a waterfall pour onto my door panel.

Should get a pair of these lol. Bubble vents from the 90s Lol

Not like she's gonna divorce you over a set of vent visors.....or would she

If it was my PayPal account I would just buy them and then apologize later

Mine aren't as dramatic as those and they sure are nice to have. Would not go without them again.

 

[Rocket Man]

Crap you guys just made me decide to keep mine. Sorry @Bombsquad85 ...plus I just found out what it would cost me to ship them.

 

[00'BlueSteel]

Same here, I keep going to take mine off for a cleaner look but then I remember how much I like them when it rains for days in a row.

So I headed to the store tonight and pretty soon I hear a sound like something is dragging on the ground so I get out and look underneath and my trans cooler is hanging by the hoses. It wasn’t leaking so I wedged it up there and drove home. The screws I had it mounted with had vibrated out. They were just screwed into some plastic so I through-bolted them. I got lucky it didn’t ruin the cooler.

Better a quick trip to the store.... dodged a bullet there brother.

Lucked out big time.

On my van, whuch has the LS 4.8, my oil cooler line popped out 2 different times, running the motor completely dry--twice. First time I noticed because of smoke, 2nd time I noticed, I just happened to look down at the oil gauge. Luckily nothing happened. You def don't want to blow something--motor or trans--because of something like having no fluid, and not noticing it right away.

 

[Rocket Man]

Yeah if that would have happened on the freeway it might have been disastrous and that pretty Performabuilt tranny might have got damaged. That would have been very very bad. That cooler is not going anywhere now.

Where do you have it mounted, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on the bottom behind everything like that!? Looks cool, I ask cause I’m still deciding how and where to mount my 40K.

It's just mounted behind my lower grill. Seems to get plenty of airflow through it. I had to go there because I have a huge intercooler for the blower up front of the radiator. It's the Tru-Cool Max 30k. I wasn't sure if the 40 k would fit but now that I have the 30 installed I see the 40 would have been OK.

That’s pretty slick, I’d love to put mine down there but I think my trailer hitch will be in the way. I was hoping you had it farther back some how.

You have a trailer hitch on the front?
