have always wanted a pair...long long before every Trini with a B14 to Almera had them...the copy cat disease that we catch here makes individualism and being unique or original difficult.

It used to be that we copied the styles from Murica, by watching cable, whereas those that lived say in Antigua, Barbados or St Maarten TRAVELLED frequently to the States and Puerto Rico (which was like being in the US, cause PR is considered a State, and they are right in line with the American trends)....but then cable came along and tons upon tons of Fake Taiwanese and Singapore plastic chrome crap, found it's way onto our cars....which btw were already coming from Sing-sing, and Korea with most of that crap already on it.

You know, like the sticking of the size of your rim on the side of your car/van, or screwin a cheap inefficient chrome extinguisher to your post, or the fake stick on-vents, and roof racks that never carry anything, or the plethora of badges..all engraved with the "name" of the vehicle thereby listing its "name" as much as 8 badges per side and the rear.

I saw these on at a show in Toronto in 2010, and they were already out 2 to 3 yrs before that....and of course we started ordering (led's & Halo lamps) them from Taiwan and China, and then proceeded to slap them onto anything that had wheels....only about 5 0r 6 yrs ago...you know how we move here..monkey see..monkey do.

[SUNNYB310GUY]

Somebody better get that truck and give it some luv...if I had that truck that diesel hadda come out...is either a vortec 6.0 with a nv3500 gearbox or if I still decided to keep it diesel put in a 5.9 cummins with the same nv3500....drop it low on air bags...all new body panels...almost all dem junkyards up here have body parts for dem and dey real cheap...even new body parts cheap. Only if I could get my hands on that. Dem trucks have real potential

He may be wrong about the engine, but everything else he pointed out is spot on.

Aye restomodders have a place in this world 2.....so allyuh move over..

"Restoration is sometimes confused with the term "restomod." A restomod has portions of the car as they were when the car was first offered for sale as well as significant changes (updates). If any part of the car is updated, the car has been "restomodded," and not restored. An "original restoration" puts a car in the same condition as when it was first offered for sale"
