3. wheels fuel hostage 20x9, 12mm offset, black. same as tires.
4. windshield tint. gonna get a layer of 40-50% to finish it off.
5. tinted tails. i work for a trucking company. the local peterbilt painter said he would do it for fifty bucks. he has his done on his tahoe and they look amazing.

Nice upgrades! I know what you mean about stress lol. If I clocked those kinds of hours(Im 16) I would be ordering stuff like crazy to. Dont worry too much about your gf. Trust me when I say it will be alright in the end. Maybe its time you take a couple days off and go have some fun with some friends, maybe the beach or something. Good luck with everything and I cant wait to see your truck when the mods get on!
