Yeah I'll probably drop by and talk in person to someone, I got a stock one meanwhile though. She won't be seeing the strip in a while anyways

Front and rear loops are always a good idea

I'm going to call back and see if I get somebody else to speak too, thanks man!

Wow, that sucks. It's been about 4 years since I bought mine. The fellow I was told to speak to was a very knowledgeable guy. I can't remember his name for the life of me, but he was hispanic.

My dad has an account with them so there might have been some kind of business discount I got for mentioning that.
