    Impulse buying mb sport v-drive rims a couple of years back. Never impulse buy something you knowingly will regret a year down the line. Yet I still haven't purchased new wheels for my baby. Oh well. That'll come soon.

    Retrofit...lol. I can't believe I'm considering spending what I'm considering spending on a full retrofit. Literally it's the cost of two truck payments lol.

    Do it yourself! Only costs about $300 with the group buy and 4 or 5 days of stress (if you go slow). I'd consider buying an extra set of headlights if it's your DD so you don't go without.

    I just did my first one a few weeks ago. Thinking about re-doing it because the cutoff is slightly skewed. But don't install against a sheet on a bush like I did and you should be fine! ;)

    Any questions feel free to ask me.

    Since I've found this site, I'm constantly torn about mods I know I'll never need, for conditions I'll never drive my truck through.:D

    After the first time I spent reading a bunch on here, I kept saying "plasti-derp" in my head for about 2 weeks!

    I'm going to keep my badges stock; figured it'd stand out since EVERYBODY else's are black. :D
