    Anyone know where to buy quality door sill protectors to protect the exposed areas? I found the following from tufskinz which the turf-liner is reasonable at $29.99 but is the carbon fiber set worth $149.99?. Granted, this is just for the front. Any other better options?

    Pulled the trigger-new Gen 3 lead foot baby!!!!

    After contemplating back and forth on whether to wait until they get the bugs worked out, I said screw it (no pun intended) and pulled the trigger on a Lead Foot.
