The very first thing I did, was to remove all the Easter egg stripes,.. it's a personal thing for me... I hate the sticker stripes, they don't last in the desert sun, if you leave them on too long they with cause ghosting on the gel coat,.. real happy with the quality of the gel coat walls... super smooth and shiny,
they are real easy to remove... you just use your finger nail to get under the stripe and start pulling.... we had all of them off in about an hour...not saying that anybody else should do this,... if you don't like the look don't do it... but here's a few pics so you can see what it looks like with out the stripes, next, we headed to discount tire in Vegas… I had already ordered the tires and wheels, as it's the same ones I put on all my e450 chassis... the rims are moto metal aluminum , with 235-85-16 tires,... I always go to this bigger tire, multiple reasons... one, I think the stock 225-75-16's are way too small, the load rating is maxed out, they make the motor spin too high of rpms and they suck fuel...I cruise 65 mph down the freeway at only 1700 rpms, and the down shift puts me about 2300 rpms, and the down to 4th.. right at 3200 rpms, 3200 is the max torque spot for the V10...
the tires are bolt on with no other mods
