The car looked killer, but the body kit fitment sucked. The dealer messed up the front bumper too on this car, which I factory ordered. Pissed me off so bad & still wasn't fixed/resolved (i.e. even after repainting it).
Also the alignment was off when I took the car, and after 2 tries they still couldn't get it fixed. BAD experience.

Shameless BF plug, if you guys are looking for Black Friday deals on the site you guys can use this page here. If anyone wants to be connected directly to a salesman also let me know.

I really like the blue one. Love the color & for me the wide was just a might over the top. Good luck with the new car.
Hope everyone had an alright Tanksgivin. Anyone doing some BF/CM shopping? I had set aside some dough for an upgrade this year and can't decide what to use it on. Shocks+Struts to finish up my suspension refresh and lower the car, or upgrade from Ryzen 2600 -> Ryzen 56/5800?
Not a lot of solid deals out there on struts and not a lot of stock on the CPUs...

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
I bought a couple milwaukee batteries and a 3/8 impact socket set. My gf asked me what I was buying for my car and I couldn't think of a single thing I need at this point. I guess it's finally "done"? Wut.
Until I buy a house next year and can trailer it....then I will suddenly need seats, a bigger turbo, real cage etc.

I like them, kinda wanted a wide body a while back. I bought a new 2016 Ram 2500, and they gave me a FB market place offer when I tried to trade it in. It was like 10k under what I wanted lmao

The blue (Frostbite) was new for 2020 and it's different. Bright in the sun and flips to dark in the shade. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it already.
But yeah...the Widebody was just a little too over the top for my short commute. Nice looking though.
