thats a wild looking Savage. Very low and damn those towers are thick! Why do they look fuzzy like they are covered in felt?

No there made of thick ass polycarbonate. They have a mat finish on them and they do have a texture but there not fuzzy. I think its from the flash

They're rough from machining, they can be polished or sanded smooth.

Very cool...I'm waiting to try out the LST shocks before I put mine on. What did you end up using for standoffs?

I ended up finding hallow aluminum spacers at the hardware store. I used 1/4 inch pieces in the front with a few washers and the cool plastic doohickies that spaced out the reaer perfectly!

I tried to get close ups to show you . if ya copy the pic im sure you can blow it up and take a closer look
