This is why I went with them... I don't beat up my door panel getting out and it doesn't hurt my left knee as much when someone parks close.
Yes it is different and not as easy simply opening as we have always done. But for me our them and on days when I have twisted my knee a little they are pain savors .

Well dude, I gotta ask:
What's been your favorite mod so far!?
What was a cheap mod that you ended up liking way more than you thought you would?
Any mod regrets?
OK, since it's the Internet and out of love for your car and your crazy passion and way too thick wallet, I have one problem!
Those red ***** on the dash. They look like big ole nipples. Now, hang on, I ain't trolling you, I just love your car and had weigh what I would do.
Where did you get the steering wheel piece with the z51 on it?

No regrets! I think the best bang for the buck, and it was cheap is the vitesse throttle controller! I love it! If you don't have one, get it now!! You will thank me later!
