I do notice that your exhaust tip is a little shorter that mine but you could always lay your vinyl around that section of the tip, paint it black and you won't be able to tell the difference when finish'd since it will be actually around the tip and under the bumper/diffuser anyway.
Yeah, its unfortunate news and I don't have anything else quite as expensive and easy to sell. We shall see what happens with the vinyl...

I am also considering the same size of buddy club 17 x 7 wheels + new tires, do you notice any MPG loss after upgrading to this new set of wheels/tires? What is the weight for each wheels for the buddy club? The stock was like 17 lbs each right?

i cant give you a direct comparison to the stock sport allows because this is actually my second set of wheels. compared to my first set these are lighter and give better mpgs, and comparing that to the first set id say the difference from stock is moot.

Hey that's the Ecsta 4x! Please let me know how the tires do for you. I'm tire shopping right now, deciding between Ecsta 4x, General G-Max AS-03, and Continental DWS.

I will definitely let you know, i was between these and the gmax and the reviews i read said they are very close competitors so the kumho rebate is what sealed it for me $50 back!!

looksgood. i find the maf sensor works regardless of orientation, so the plugin on mine is on the bottom of the tube, so the cable doesn't have to make the weird 180. works either way tho obviously, just thought i'd share.
