SIDEWINDER CUSTOMS

 


WHO IS SIDEWINDER CUSTOMS?

Sidewinder Customs was created by Darren Alcorn, a long time Dakota owner and enthusiast. After combining Darren’s day job as an embroidery digitizer and his hobby of modifying his Dakota, he first started offering custom reupholstered sun visors with Darren’s unique touch of embroidered logos. After a while, he began looking at other aspects of his trucks interior. Soon after he began offering door panel inserts reupholstered and embroidered. This led to the additional Club Cab seating surfaces reupholstered as well as the headliner fabric which completes the interior modifications.

In 2006, after owning a Viper brake kit from a different company that suffered from many design flaws and safety issues, Darren began to co-design a completely new Brembo Viper Brake Conversion Kit. After nearly a year of designing, testing, and fine tuning Darren unveiled the new conversion kit in July of 2007. In addition to the brake kit, he also opened his new website http://www.sidewindercustoms.com which not only showcased his cosmetic and performance mods, but offered a one stop shop for these custom items.

As Darren continues to develop more products he will continue to offer items that are unique in the marketplace. Whether you have a question or would just like to leave some feedback, please visit http://www.sidewindercustoms.com/contacts.html for more info.
