shaved drip rails?
« on: March 26, 2010, 03:26:27 am »
i want to shave the drip rails on my truck i was just wondering why i dont see it that often, is it a bad idea because of rust or something? i think it will make it look a lot cleaner.

I have 3 trucks without them. They look good with or without it's just personal preference. They aren't a rust issue on these trucks.

I like the shaved look but we get too much rain here to do it to a daily driver.
