Here's the mirrors and side vents. Easy install but have to be extremely careful when removing mirror caps. The clips can snap off easily. The side vents are 3m tape. I used a hair dryer to warm both car and tape and pressed firmly for 2 mins both sides. They are def. On and flex fender if you pull on them.

Don't worry, led lights are bought and coming with kit
Still jumping back and forth between 20" and 22" rims. It's my daily driver… and want comfortable and also tires that last and not be $$$$ that's my only concern with 22" tires are crazy expensive |

I think 20's would look silly on this truck especially if your going wide body. 22s are a must for sure!!

Why do the LED lights look more aggressive than the HID lights? Don't they look the same minus the insides? I mean I think the LED lights are awesome, we have them and enjoy them. But I never thought of them as more aggressive looking than the bixenons. Maybe I'm just getting old... |

Well damn Red, looks like I'll have to put my VSRF 7" intercooler, painted with M performance stripes on and a stage 2 tune to keep you happy 😉

I guess it depends on the width you end up at but if it's 295/335 than 22" tires will be about $1k. Not bad compared to 21" tires which has less options.
