Thank you all for the nice compliments;-)


Yes I installed it myself, it is just the repeatition of what I did to my old one, except I had to take it to the shop to have the connection spot welded. I like the new one better because it's all Stainless.[;)] The driver side section isn't really a perfect bend, and the hanger is needed to be moved towards the tip to be able to match on the passenger side tip, as you can see,the down tubing is slightly slope down, but isn't that much.Also I had to cut the bottom tube on the driver side by one inch. so the spacing on both side will be the same.

Stewart, sorry I don't have written instruction yet, but I will, when I recall what I did [;)]its a lot of trial position to make it straight and to my satisfaction. I have some old picture on my gallery if you want to browse. WARNING: its 19 pages[:0][:0]
[;)]
some closed up pix.
