Ive also been looking and reading about the monotubes for the front, already decided on those. I just wasn't sure about the chrome or black and if i did go with chrome if the cowbells should be changed as well. Looks like after compairing the black and chrome with the wife she likes the chrome better so that is what we decided on. Now it's time to price shop!

Probably doesn't have enough info. I remember looking at this and still needing my service manual.
