Actually I've also been mulling over her name.... Frankentruck, while truly describes her, is not a sophisticated name (since you used the term). But alas, I'm not good with names so she'll probably remain Frankentruck for the foreseeable future.
How about "Shady Lady"?

So this afternoon I went on a mini spending spree and bought these as a birthday present to myself

I know they are not OEM, but they are steel & only cost 177.00 for the set
Now I just need to buy some more J7 & clearcoat lol

I also bought these even though I may never use them. My thinking at the moment is to see if I can take them apart & paint the red parts with J7 (Magnetic) & maybe reshoot the black with Tuxedo. they were only 21.00, so it's not a big deal if they never get used

Gotcha, thanks for the quick response. Do you know if anyone has added OEM back up sensors? I've seen aftermarket ones which I'm not too thrilled about but would love to add the OEM ones.

Happy birthday!
