its johnie bebad.. u right most dealerships will fix it under warranty
because that is wher they make their money..if u have ever tried to get ur

what im saying..as long as iu pull the nos off before u bring it..they want
your business..i spoke to dc about the same mods aside from the nos and yes
dc will warranty it.
