Some of that early 90’s pinstripping is a little… over the top. ---

thats not pinstriping, alot of the early 90s late 80s shit was mostly graphics, not actual pinstriping. ---

aw… I feel bad for giving you shit about pinstripes in the past… my BMW has a thin white pinstripe that was painted on… I feel like I have a tattoo I hate and I’m worried that removing it will only make it look worse. t-up on the bilsteins they’re good stuff. ---

the 5100’s are awsome for trucks, over the stockers they made it feel way better on the road. I would never buy anything but bilstein. ---
