Spacer added and roof rails removed
So i got my X back from the dealer this weekend after they had it for over a month with air ride problems. I removed the roof rails before it went in but I just installed the caps I painted to match the truck. They look much better painted! I also installed a set of 30 mm spacers on the rear wheels and painted all the brake calipers black. I think it looks a LOT better now! The last pic is the nice curb check the dealer gave my new wheel. I lost it and went off my service writer! They say there going to take care of it. Well it's a nice day in south florida so i'm off on my boat. hope everone has a good sunday.

R.C.: Now ur cookin' with butter! The X looks a helluva lot cleaner without the roof-rails, doesn't it? I did the same mod with the painted holestops and my baby looks dreamy.......
The spacers really got ur ride coming together by pushing the rears out a bit more (where did you get lugs and/or locks to fit?)........ Oh, and set us up with a few shots of the painted calipers.......

The calipers I just painted black because they where lookin a little rusty. The lug bolts I ordered from wheel expressions where I got my wheels from but the bolts came from siegfried roller in norwalk ca. there number is 562-407-3034 The bolts where 14X60mm
