    You may be the first to try them out...

    With a little work, you can make ANYTHING fit.

    :idea:

    Either way,you will need some fab/fit finish skills to get the most out of them.(they dont just pop on and your done)

    fit em... trim em...fit em... trim em... measure TWICE...cut once....trim...sand...trim...fit...sand some more...fit again...figure out how and where you are going to put the fasteners while you fit em.figure out what kind of fasteners you will use...Bonding.... rivits... screws....How ever you do it...TAKE YOUR TIME.do it right the first time.Just go slow and plan it out before you committ to any cuts or trimming or drilling.Be sure they will fit your application measurement wise before you plop down the green.Good luck!!!When useing screws/bolts/rivits with fiberglass parts use good washers that fit the fasteners(not big sloppy fitting ones) to back up your fasteners or you will crack the fiberglass.Dont crank down fasteners on fiberglass parts either or you will crack em.A good thread locking compound is also recommended when you do this since you cant crank down on the fasteners.

    I think it would be cool to see them done. Just something a bit different...

    Just check in the gallery...There are many brazillian mavericks that have these installed and I think Lance (aka Sir Mavowar) is going with the same kind of setup on his maverick. (y)
