Heck yeah, they do! :-) Notice though that I said they're going
for that "look". I suspect that most of 'em don't take performance into
consideration, or if they do, its just to make their truck "look" fast,
instead of actually making it fast. I've lost count of the number
of trucks I see in the magazines with wild expensive paint schemes,
custom interiors, and for that extra kick in the pants, a K&N drop
in. :-) IMHO, if you can see all the little details in my paint
job, I'm not goin' fast enough. ;-)
