The honest truth is that I actually very seriously looked at Raptors before I picked up the CTS. There seemed to be a lot of drivetrain issues in brand new cars being posted up on their forums which made me nervous. That, and the fact they get like 10mpg haha. The newer twin turbo F150s would be pretty sweet....A friend of mine picked up a Platinum version that was really sick.

Threw a bunch of CELs the other day while driving to the Hyundai dealership to finish up some paperwork on the fiance's Elantra. Car cut power, stuttered, etc. CEL went away after an on/off cycle but the codes were still stored. One day in the service center and a replaced cyl. 6 coil pack later and the car is running better than ever. A LITTLE surprised at the dead coil pack already, but whatever. The service writer asked me about the mods I had on the car and said they were fine, it wouldn't hurt my warranty...the mechanic just noticed them. I told him a couple of them and he was like Nicceeee!

For the record we always called the silver GM squares "MOE"s internally - Mark Of Excellence. The idea was to put the symbol on every GM model as a way of advertising the fact all of the different products came from one manufacturer.
Love all the black! Why not the foglights? Afraid it would clash with the headlights?

Thanks man! Yeah i thought it might look odd just having the headlights with chrome housings....and I didn't really want to take apart and black out another set of headlights after I could never get a good seal on one of my TL-S lights.
