He's the store mgr. at the one on Kansas Ave in KC KS...the ghetto

 

Hey man, I DO appreciate your input, but your comment just rubbed me the wrong way so I apologize for my reaction. I have a pretty short fuse sometimes. :fart:

 

On a different note, I did receive the hood and gate today UNDAMAGED! They're flawless and look even better in person. Got them installed right away and took some pics but they have so many coats of zaino on them the pics turned out like crap bc the clouds, trees and everything else reflected onto them. I'll take some more this weekend and get them posted here, that is if Wheatley gets my PCM back to me. She's laid up in the garage till then.

nice to see there are some low mileage trucks left out there. mine has way too many miles its sad. you find yourself an 80 or maggie yet?

Yes, thank you...it was a great find. No 80 or maggie yet, I'm still deciding between Jake's and FLT on the tranny. I just got a couple of quotes today and will be doing the 80 first so I don't roast the stock one by putting the maggie on first.

Great to hear that your Hood and gate got to you undamaged. One thing to mark off the worry list. :thumbsup:

Its all good. I said it because after awhile you get the opinions of a couple that all they do is jumble up a thread with their "professional forum reading opinions".

 

I PM'd you
