Yea good thing you got them to replace the red clamp, it's so out of place. Logo placement will make it look like it belongs.

I wander if I should bother doing a return on 2 of my blue ones. Its 15 bucks after all, shipping costs more than the clamps lol

Check out their site, pretty complete and cool stuff. It worked well for me, but those were just tiny spots. If you need to fill any of the damage I'd go with a shop I'm sorry to say.

Yeah Im going to talk to my buddy who is a auto body mechanic to see if there is a way I can just buff it out and paint it. Thanks for the link I'll check it out. Its hard to believe how many people are out there that don't take responsibility for their actions especially when it messes up other peoples stuff.

Happened to me last summer... my rear bumper was pushed in far enough to crack the tail-light housing, and there was a large black ring to indicate a pickup truck once again had trouble fitting in it's parking space...

Whats bizarre is that I always back into parking spots and there was a sidewalk behind the spot so essentially someone some how parked in the spot next to me and either backed or drove in at an angle to hit my car that way. Just when you think you're safe... you're not lol.

Hey I got a quick question guys.

I have subs in my trunk so I don't think I can reach my spare tire (that's where it is right?) and I need to take my 19" wheel in to get it repainted while my car is in the shop to repair a fender. If I can't reach my spare can I use my old 18" duckfeet wheel/tire to just drive down the street 10 minutes?

You will be fine, both wheel/tire combo's should have roughly the same circumference to be in spec for your car. Use the wheel/tire calculator to confirm if you'd like.

Those look great, Andy. It's too bad the other size didn't work out for you. I just purchased a pair of red ones in 2-3/4" size to see how they work on my GTM intake pipes before buying the rest of them.

Thanks so much, Nico! I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Absolutely excellent choice. It's a shame they don't sell these up in Canada as I'd love to own one at some point.

Congrats on the new SS Mike, shame to have that happen to your sweet G, but looks like you've found a righteous replacement. Any more plans for that one (I'm sure you've got a few).
