What fun is being practical? :lol: After all, there isn't much in this entire build that is practical.

You are being very nieve if you think your chances of being rear ended are very slim.
Over 11 years on the road so far and I have yet to be rear ended. I'll take those odds. :wink:

The air filter holes are between filter and engine right? Might want to cover them up.

The large one goes below the cab, and covers all the open space. The long narrow one goes below the sleeper and squares off the bottom of the sleeper. They will be black, and will have amber lights behind them (which will glow but not be seen directly).

Here's kind of what they will look like once installed:

The air cleaners will be going back on the outside, and will be mostly black when they do. :wink:

Black filter sounds nice...I was actually referring to taping over the holes to avoid dust and other crap getting inside while the air filters are off.
