Picked it up today!!!!

Howdy!

Well, I took the plunge, and picked up my green RTS today! :D

I am happy with it, allthough I have a few nits to pick with the dealer. The vehicle was not prepped as it should have been, nor was it detailed as it should have been.

I did get it for $27,675, just a hair over invoice+destination. I got several other dealers to match that price, and several others who tried to rip me off, so, I know which dealers to trust in the future.

I'll post some picks when I get a chance.

Anyone know a dealer in SoCal with a body shop that can be trusted to install the add-ons?... (Not Fladaboe!!! :roll: )

Thanks to all the input you guys have me!!! And my wife likes it as well, so I'm not sleeping on the couch tonight! :lol:

congrats and welcome. Keep us informed on who does your add ons and how they go. Good color

Thanks!

I did just send the dealer an email about poor prep-work on the Ridgeline. I found several of the interior plastics that I needed to pop into place, and the screws for the spare-tire tray were lying loose. I wonder what else I might find. Their prep guys should have caught these things. I saw them right away in the first day.

I'm looking to eventually get the foglights, when I find a shop I trust. I'm going to get the bed-extender, runingboards, and perhaps the flares as well.

I'd be interested to see some feedback on the flares, they sound kind of delicate. perhaps some aftermarket ones might be in order.

I have had them since early march. would highly recommend. Protect the side of the truck from dings. A little high priced but good quality.

sounds good. I was wondering a bit because of the concerns that CollegeHills had about shipping them. My wife likes the look with the flares, so I will probably get them eventually, unless a good aftermarket version comes out.
