Thanks! Looks like my dads 90 will get the dual rack

Speaking of embellishments, I caught a dusey of one at a CHP event yesterday - simulated twin 50 cal. machine gun barrels protruding from the massive front winch bumper of a Dodge Ram MRE (commercial enforcement) unit!
It is very possible that my car was a PIO car, or that it went to another agency (like the 91 camaro), as it went to a private owner in 98 (from what I can gather).
