Remounted/replaced 3 of the BBS and picked up an Interstate battery for the OBS.
Definitely not dip 
There was a dude selling the C pillars and that part already shaved and dipped, but I didn't think they looked that great. The letters is one thing, but the whole thing not so much. So my vote is also midwing 
If you find two of them....*hint hint*

Detail addict isn't the same place as heedz went to but i do agree with you on the work Leo does. Haven't been to detailmaniac myself so i can't comment on his work.
The first time I went to detail addict I had a pretty large amm of stuff to do on the car. I arrived late and things began fast with the owner even getting his wife to help vacuum and with some small things (yes they are now struggling to beat the sun going down b/c im a late idiot).
Unfortunately he did not finish the all exterior stuff working steadily hard for about 3hrs. Because he didn't finish all the exterior stuff (think we had to skip the polishing but I can't remember), THE OWNER TELLS ME NO, he doesn't want any money and refuses to take it because he didn't finish. He then tells me to come back in a month or 2 and have the car finished entirely and I can pay then. He just had spent hours working on my car with professional talent. At this point I was blown away, you just don't find many people whose top priority is doing a good job over all else.
I of course went back a couple months later, and now 4-5? years later? I still haven't been anywhere else and won't be going to any other detail shops, I live an hour away each direction.
So to answer your question, they are awesome and you won't find a cheaper price. or better work (A rare combo). The other crazy thing is they will teach you legitimately how to do the stuff yourself if it's a hobby you want to take up.

I caught a hit and run driver who tried to bail out after rear ending someone, iPhone for the win and a little boost to help. When I returned to the scene to find the victim it turned out to be one of my close friends and I'm so grateful I own a Subaru to catch that POS.

Please dont compare me to Heeday....
Hes on a whole different planet. One that I care not to explore.
Thanks.
And im sorry you dont know jack about diesels. I was talking about the 07 5.9 6BT cummins. Before they went to the federal mandated DFP filters in the 6.7 turd. There was no 6.4 cummins.
The 5.9 diesel gets 23 freeway with a smarty tuner and proper gearing/tires. Plus a feather foot.
And thats because its got a turbo deisel motor. More torque and more hp @ less rpms than your gasser. No special electronics shutting down cylinders for better fuel economy.
And lastly the payoff...been there done that too.....
I used to drive an 01 f250 and owed on that when I traded in too.
Its a little bit of a monthly price difference when you add another 7 grand on a $35k truck.
Its just money but maybe some people cant afford quite as much as you?
Did I miss anything?

So, since I'm just seeing this, let me answer in kind just this once.
Yeah, you missed some.
No, actually a lot.
*I'll be off this board for a while, this sort of stuff's getting lame.*
