Yes they are plastic but OMFG they are loud as ! Yes I would buy them again without hesitation. Its not a Nathan Airchime but its as close as you can get. Its not the plastic you gotta worry about, its the diaphragms and they are all metal like the real thing. The cheaper horns are ALL plastic.

Thanks for all the compliments. Just waiting on Airaid to get caught up and ship my CAI and my headlights to get back. The halos were damaged during shipment so had to ship them back to get fixed. Will post more pics when they get here and are installed.

Not crazy about the headlight mod, bed rug, or grill. But other than that I'd say you have pretty much the truck dreams are made of. Quite jealous. I would love to hear the horn.

That is a nice looking truck! When are you installing the headlights?

By the way, let us know if you are losing bulbs in the PIAA's. I've blown 3 bulbs since I got them in September.

Oh, one more thing; After removing the gaurds on the PIAA's a few times, they did not want to stay securely, so I used some silicone to make sure they stay. You might want to do the same.

The original ones had bad soldering on the wires, so they blew after about 4 weeks. One went one day, the other the next. Bulbs were still good, just the solder on the leads failed.

Lost another a few weeks back, but the guy at the shop said he may have touched the bulb when he replaced it last time. Can't touch halogens.
