Twin!! Mine even had the same pinstripe. Key word: had. Lol. Looks great though! Yes, I love my mudflaps. I mounted them in a way that's functional yet most people don't even notice they exist.

I was wondering why our cars looked so different that pinstripe really stands out now that you mentioned it, my interior is falling apart when I got the car it was so neglected I'm ashamed to even post pics before I fix it up a bit, Your interior is so clean. Also all the pictures I've seen with mudflaps are either to close or to far away I can't get a good idea of how they'd look

I'd take a close close-up but my car is filthy. Beyond filthy. Haha

I may have something in my photobucket. Once I get home I'll check and post it if I do.

Nah. I don't like those for a variety of reasons. I just never take a picture of my car with the sunroof closed. I think you're the only one to ever notice. :P

You can kind of see my rears if you look closely in this picture.

Old picture but you can kind of see the fronts in this one.

Image

Sad to say I don't have any closer pics.

I'll add this for nostalgia/comparison though, my car when I first got it. Only mods so far were tint and Flowmasters.

Honestly I like the 2000 centers better. They're better built, and you don't have chrome fade to worry about. That's not to say the '01s look bad...far from it!

We have chrome rims why wouldn't we want chrome center caps? I think I'm going to order mudflaps on Amazon their like six bucks each

My next mod would be blacking out the centerpiece on the taillights, I haven't given her any performance mods because when I got her she was badly neglected needed rotors brakes tires sway bar link ends egr almost every bulb had to be replaced rotor dust was everywhere so she's come a long way. Now that she's running well what would you suggest

The chrome center caps do look very nice, and the 2000 centers I think don't look bad at all either. The thing I heard about the '01 caps is that the clips break easier on them, so there's a higher chance of loosing one. I don't have any experience with that, it's just something I heard.

I wouldn't mind having both sets though.

I lost one, but it was my fault... I have them all wrapped with electrical tape around the outside where the clips are, so that it makes the fit onto the wheel tighter than hell. They aren't moving now, for sure.

I wouldn't use silicone, that's gonna be a mess when it's time to rotate tires...
