I can fudge it. She sees bumpers not the financial statements. All she knows is that it costs money, so going back to regular means that "I should be getting money back"
I think it was too much too fast to get away with. If it wasn't for the step dad coming down and pointing out everything I probably would have gotten away with it. She's the worrying type so I guess it all comes down to what will give me the least grief over the long haul. It really does suck to do it, but I may as well bite the bullet. I at least can say that I did own some Road Armors at one point.
jasonmt - that is a hell of a drive. I think with such a limited time frame and depending on the response I get, I may go with the knocked up bumpers for a while and hide the RA's at a shop. I told her I'd get it done this week so thats my haste. The shop still has my factory tires as well so I can get that done in no time.
I'm not usually the type to give in so easy to these demands, but I'm also not the type that gets married. I guess we all change. Luckily shes not a car-type girl so there's still a few things I can get away with
Just find some stock parts to put back on there and Gide them for awhile and slowly add them back. I feel your pain. Just got my truck and she gets mad cause I'm buying all these parts.
Yeah...put the stock parts back on, store the 'new' parts at a buddy's and slowly buy them back...not much different than 'selling' them to someone else for shiny stock parts...:bolt:
Thanks for the interest guys, the bumpers are traded and I'm out of the doghouse for now.
