I've seen them on some body lifted trucks around here... they look funky in that respect. The problem is in order to make those bowties, they take normal "boom tubes" and crimp the end, so they start out real fat at one end and then get all skinny like a backwards chevy-shaped megaphone... In that case it looked real tacky... a real low vehicle with just the bowties sticking out from underneath,just enough to see them would probably look alright, but for the previous reasons, I personally don't like them... around here we say "that's french", in other words you only see that about 15min north.

Let me point out though... I am french so don't go jumping down my throat about racial slurs or anything lol.

Are you "french canadian"? Or "canadian"? personally I think that this goes way out on a limb and some terms like this are over emphasis'd with results that are blown out of proportion

amen brother.

that's why my brother's Summer Dime has no TP, and when i redo the factory duals on my 'Burb this year, you ain't gonna be seein' no TP's anymore either.

plus, when somethings layin' down, nothing looks cleaner than not seeing a pipe draggin' the ground.
