It's not a bad deal for 3500. I'd try to fix the knocking sound first cause it'll drive you nuts every time you drive. The grill is a cheap fix. and good job on the wing and stickers.

Good luck with your car. Fix that **** up. Slowly but surely man

Thanks bro, I've been asking around and it could be the ksports coil binding but idk yet, I only checked my car once by myself and I'm not really an expert on suspension. But yeah it's a slow build but it'll be done
