I like it but I've have heard how much it is. It can't be cheap.

Some are and some aren't enjoying keeping up with the diamond cut bling being worth the effort. I imagine that's why popularity with blacked out is popular today.

Damn! just when my list was almost done now I have to consider this one.

Actually, I've always thought they looked slick with a diamond cut but never really considered it because of the cost.

Our local dealer sells jugs for the 95" kit already diamond cut. Standing there admiring them one day, the service rep mentioned that a box of band aids should be included with every kit. Their shop mechanics hated installing them, as the edges are quite sharp.
