I am coming up on 3 years so I have been looking, Wally's has an EverStart or the factory ACD for about 2 bones, which is about the same price as RockAuto. I am hopeful that trickling the battery every month or 2 so the plates don't get depleted will help with longevity, but we'll see how it...

Congrats on the win!

Yup, they only come on in the dark when unlocking or locking the vehicle. There is a mod on Venoms website to turn them on with the interior lights but that isn't something I want to do so I haven't looked into it.

And, I will say, nice touch getting the metal flake primer instead of the flat, as you can see, grey is in the bottom right of the Dunn Edwards display in the "Trending Today" category, a flash in the pan, here today gone tomorrow, not the CLASSIC and forever relevant, white! 🤣 🤣 🤣 P.S. I'm...
