That the way to go Killer. Check out what everyone has done and get all the pros and cons... The BBS are boxed up sitting in my basement for another car.. ** cough cough ** RX-8 ** cough cough **

Of course Eddie O! I am taking a drive out to southern VA tomorrow to take a look it and see if everything is legit. My only concern is that the seller is just a kid.. A punk ass one at that. But I am always up for a road trip even if this deal is a dud...

Thanks Eddie-O! I think my kung-fu is good enough to handle some punk ass kid

Back to Ed's lug nuts.. They complement the blue Megan strut housing on the coils and look very nice

"Slap chop.. You'll love my nutz..." - Slop Chop commercial for you pervs out there... (pretty much all of us)

fitment was good sync the material is flexible and a little use of heat gun makes the installation easy if i remember it took less then 3 hours for the whole thing

might be a noob question but...since the material is polyurethane, is there way to trim or sand down the side to make it a bit thinner so that it doesnt look so bulky on the side, the part where it attaches to the bumper?
