    Oh I wish I owned the blu ray version. But The dvds in the PS3 do look better than in the dvd player. Better picture. I didn't see the new one. But want too. I heard the chick in that one is hot also. But I don't know if you can replace Kate Beckinsale. :D

    I meant even regular DVDs look better in the PS3 compared to the dvd player/recorder. The PS3 cleans up the picture.

    HOLY HELL- That Carriage Works sets on AutoAnything is going to run you more than 250 before install and it wasn't a 5 piece set.

    Hit up ebay and buy the cheapest 5 piece chrome set you can find (Mine was in the neighborhood of 150)...and some Duplicolor paint. Sand it down, clean it up and shoot the paint over it. Mine has held up GREAT. had to touch up a spot after an offroading trip...but it's easy.

    So do you prefer buying chrome off ebay and painting black? or buy this one from AutoAnything?

    Maybe the carriage works one looks better and last longer? I'm not sure just making sure.

    It might last longer...and if it's the right color it might be easier to look better. But I couldn't find any black grills in a sating finish when I looked...so I had to paint my own.

    I do prefer spending less money- and I did that with the e-bay grill and some paint. It's held up great and hasn't needed a touch up yet. Better hardware would have been nice...cause I did have to paint the screw heads...but other than that...No issues.
