First of all, my goal wasn't to make a look-a-like. While being a look-a-like might be an indirect result, that was not the goal. Again, the goal was not to make people think it's a 4.8is. The goal was to make the car look the way I wanted it to look.
Second, you're right that those things do not add value to the car...but only to the extent that they don't add value to the car in and of itself (that is, as far as KBB/Edmunds/etc. are concerned). What they do is add value to an individual who would want to do the same modifications. I clearly expressed that in my FS thread.
Does anybody read anymore?
Anyhow, back on topic...
That is a good deal on a 4.8, OP. But I'd still be worried about the usual 4.8is problems (EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS) ... even moreso since the truck is out of warranty.
