Other than the color(I hate purple) I think they would be a nice add-on.

I think if I were you I would get the FLM LCG ones if you want to stay the standard length, or even there regular ones. Expecially since they are cheaper and add more bling and are silver. http://www.fastlanemachine.com/PublicPortal/Products/Savage/tabid/56/Default.aspx Just my .02.

The ones you have listed from NewEra will be just fine and do look nice.

FLM tvps are good. My only complaint is that I had to drill out all the holes in the chassis because they weren't big enough. I used 2 sizes of bits but I cant remember what sizes. Drilling them is easy it just cleans up the holes so screws slide in and out better.

Sorry FX, I didnt have any problems with mine. I know shortay just got a set and he said he had to drill out a few of them as well and iv'e heard this in several other instances. They should maybe open there holes up just a touch but I'm sure they are after a tight fit expecting that if your buying there product you will get them on there.

Get the IRC TVPs, then when you want to get the mid tank mod done you can get the kit they have made for those TVPs.

That is a very nice setup IRC have now.

The reason I found that I had to drill the holes out was that the FLM stuff has a clear anodizing/coating on it. The holes are drilled correctly but the coating fills them slightly. The only holes I had to re drill were the 2 where the metal studs go into chassis from the bulkheads/diff casings. It's probably a good thing they don't make the holes slightly bigger as the coating comes off very easily and this would create a lot of slop over time.
