I just completed the front mod a few months ago. Have not done the rear yet. Absolutely love it.

Nah, just a cheap cover indeed on. It’s flaking after 4 years. Could t find a good one. The one I installed on her Altima was REALLY nice. This one sucks

Kind of looked like the Grant wheel. I've heard its been discontinued unfortunately.

Thanks for the information…
Any issues with the installation? / items to be on the lookout for?

I finally flushed the brake fluid out with the help of one of those suction tank things. I think I bought it nearly two years ago to do this job and procrastinated that much on it, yikes! But that suction tool has been very handy. I also used it this time last year to drain the trans 6 or 7 times as an easier method to swap out the the trans fluid.

I depressed the brake pedal a few times when flow became stopped....I had the passing thought while I did it that going to the floor might not be the best idea. On startup "service brake" showed up but pedal feel was fine, actually a good bit better than before flush so I wasn't that worried. Checked for leaks, plugged HP Tuners to scan for codes...nothing.

I removed the negative cable before bed and all was fine this morning. Whew!

Not really, but my setup is for a 2wd 2002 Tahoe. If you watch the videos on the Atomic website, he provides all the guidance required. I do have two comments though. On the the drivers side upper support bracket - ensure you install the upper hardware (bolt and nut) first. Second, In order to get my ride height correct, i needed to adjust (raise) the preload (lower two lock rings) almost an inch. I did take a few pictures on my build thread. Atomic's customer service is awesome. Feel free to reach out to him - he will respond very quickly.

Thanks for the 1st hand run down.
I have watched some of the videos as well.

Ordered some aluminum a/c blend doors gonna see how these work.

Took a pleasure ride in it this morning, at least it was that until I got to the office.

Topped off the tank with corn fuel on the way home, almost 15 gallons @ $2.50. Premium (91 here at altitude) is only 50 cents more now ($3), so it's almost a wash. But I stuck with the E85 for now.
