save a bit more and get the Armorlite. I just installed mine a week ago and love it. Looks clean and was easy (also been a mechanic for 18+ years) everything lined up easily.

The weather is starting to warm up in NC so I would get something to help me look forward to summer. I going to say a mesh sun shade for the front and the back. After tax, I will have another $405 so will say a dead pedal for the inside and then foot pegs and mirrors for when I take off the doors.

In the bank and put it towards my next college tuition payments for my kids! This ultimately frees up more "disposable"income.

I'd like a pair of halo headlights. I've got the factory halogens and I'd like an upgrade. Oracle lights look cool, but that price tag is a bit much for me.

Look at the Raxium lights, $275 for headlights or $315 with headlights and fogs! Extreme terrain
