Mind posting up the part number? Not sure why, but mine is also horribly deteriorating.
I’ll ceramic coat it. it’ll “help” with future scratches
Thank you!
The fronts run$169ish each and the rears due to remote reservoirs are $269ish each. I work for Fox though, so those aren’t the prices I paid

Looks awesome man, nice work on the install and thank you for the support!
I don’t know how you managed to get out, but nice job!
I recently purchased them also and on the fence as well. I mainly got them because it rains a lot here in the PNW but also wasn't prepared for the impact it had on my vision, especially out on trails and poking your head out. Is it just mine, but are they also a tad purple/blue-ish tinted in the sun? Was hoping they'd be just... black..
I'm in the process of getting my truck "road worthy" in the state of MD which requires a safety inspection. I've been pleasantly surprised that the report came back with only needing front pads & rotors, right CV, and a new muffler (hole in the current).
I've picked up OEM brakes and the CV + muffler from Advance for $500 so far. I'm hoping my local mechanic can knock it out this weekend.

Hate to be that guy, but ceramic coating won’t do anything for preventing future pin stripes. Vinyl or PPF is pretty much your only real option.

It's hard to see the pearl gloss in pictures that I make with my cell phone. I want to share a simple "low cost" fast trick that I use to keep pinstripes away from the pearl paint.
Start with a clean truck. Then I spend roughly 30 minutes giving the paint a quick rub down with Meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax. It's easy to use. It protects black plastic and trim. It lasts about a month. It goes off-roading once a month. The paint is slick so that tree branches bounce off the paint without digging in. It seals up a porous automotive finish with a fresh coat of synthetic wax. Other synthetic quick waxes like Eagle also work well.
It's just a commitment that I make prep the vehicle each time that I get ready for some off-road fun.
@TheForger has seen it in person and knows how I go through the pre-trail regimen.
Maybe this picture shows the pearl gloss.

In the past I've used some of the consumer-level ceramic coat products with pretty solid results. Ceramic tends to last longer and be more effective than wax, though it's mostly about how long it lasts. I've had mine last six months before needing to be addressed again. It definitely didn't help against major pinstripes, but those were going to happen anyway. The small ones, though, it definitely helped with. The protective layer would get damaged, but that's as far as it got.
I think with wax or ceramic coats, the key is putting a thin layer of protectant between the paint and the tree branches, brush, mud, dirt, etc. I'm not sure it makes it any more "slippery" for the brush to slide off of, though I doubt it. It does help protect it, but if there's a particularly big or stubborn branch, you're taking that damage either way.
Just the cost of taking these things to cool places.

Another one followed me home. Can we keep it?
I might be tempted to try these on my son's 2000 LC. Can you share P/N and/or specs of what model fox shocks you're using?
Finished installing LED bulbs in the car as well as installed LED low beams in the LX as well as applying amber tint on the lower fog light/turn signal assembly. I managed to unbolt the passenger side but the driver’s side outer one the nut just spun in place so o had to apply the film with the housing on the bumper.
what is this kickdown cable and 7 pin mod thing you speak of?
