With all the suede you have done Frank, trying a suede boot is like a must try. Get a donor boot from the yard to play with (use the wire frame and make a template from). This way, going BACK to the stocker is easy.

as you guys might notice, i flipped the bolt/mounts of the stock strut bar upside down just to cover the holes that would've been left behind exposed if i didnt cover them with anything![Embarrassment](https://montecarloforum.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
the brackets hold them down pretty good in place.
