josh emailed me back & said he received my pmt & that they'd go out the next day... fwiw. i'd email him & ask.

Got mine today. Installed them. Unfortunately with no jack/stands, it was a little bit of a challenge. After trying to get my head under the car (barely), I found that the flange was positioned so that the bolt was pointed perpendicular to the ground. I had to reach up under the car but I got it eventually. After taking everything off I cleaned everything with a little steel wool and got all the crap and surface rust off. I repositioned the bolt so that it's parallel to the ground. It'll be a little bit easier to get to next time.
I just hope that I can avoid the dreaded "I-melted-my-bumer-cover-because-the-tips-were-too-close-to-it" syndrome. Right now they are about a finger's width away on all sides (they are about like Freddy's polar silver C4). Does that seem far enough away???

. The real reason is I don't sleep very well. All the other times in the past, I only had a few hours of sleep the night before. So will see, if I feel well, I'll show up...If you have the motor sound tips why are u getting these? I think I like the smaller size of the oem better, assuming they are the big oval, not square.

Can someone take some pics of the ovals before installing them. TIA

The only thing I did was take a rag with acetone on it, and wipe the overspray off the outer lip. The paint made the edge look rough. Other than that, they are pretty damn nice for $50.00!
