and gettin it installed at the dealer takes even more money.
the installs easy.

thats another thing you should know.
do all the installs yourself or with someone you know.
you will save tons of $$$

true, but still over priced.
idk about any of you guys, but i like installing stuff on my car. makes you feel alot better when your done and everytime your driving it knowing that you biult it not someone else.
and id gladly take a couple hours out of my day to save several hundred dollars.

^^x2 - the only thing i didn't install on my car were the hotchkis springs - because i knew it was gonna be a b**ch, lol

otherwise than that - everything else was self installed. feels pretty good to know everything on your car was done right...

there was not a single part on my car that was not installed by me except the LED gauge swap.
you can find DIY on here for pretty much everything, and if you dont know that much, im sure you have some buddies who know enough to get it done, and its a good learning experience.

don't know about the 08's and '09s but my '05 was filled with rattles everywhere. the whole frame is just weak esp. the pano roof and hatch. the more i take it to the dealer, the worst it gets. i finally gave up and just crank up the volume or open my windows to drown out the rattles.

my 08 used to have rattles, then i changed my cold air to a short ram. Everything that rattled shook 10x worse. now i think everything fell off. no more rattles.
