Rear Axle / Frame Tube Covers

The good old rattle can treatment will work wonders if you prep what you are spraying correctly. I've worked on a few items on the Titan that I felt had far too much chrome including the grill.

Thanks!!! Actually, the brushed finish version will hold paint very well.

I know about those, I thought that you might start making them in the more Euro style design.

so, it looks like no black yet...unless you are into do-it-yourself with the spray paint?

Black powder-coated end caps by Breathless Performance. Not a stock item, but he did them for me anyway. Makes the gaping holes, and the DeDion tube itself, pretty much invisible. Sorry, but I am not into taking a "rattle can" to a new automobile.

Extra brake lighting is always a good thing.

Nice installation, but I had a bit of confusion about his wiring. A wiring diagram would have helped.

I am on the fence about these. I remember reading earlier this year (maybe even up-thread, for all I know), that there was some concern about moisture actually being trapped in there by virtue of adding the caps. and, if so, actually causing the problem you are trying to prevent.

are you guys doing it in light of some nasty winter roads, and road salt and stuff? I am just curious....

These are vented to hopefully prevent any moisture forming.
Personally I don't concern myself with nasty winter roads and road salt. I live in FL. Although I'll admit, I've seen many badly prematurely, rusted-out cars belonging to people living beachside.
