I bought a set of these a couple months ago, but have not fitted them yet. I'm really curious now. I definitely like the way these look versus the wheels. I'll have to get off my butt and install these soon! Guess I'll cross my fingers, as I'm not sure where I fit in with the revisions.

Looks like a great idea and a great product. If everyones car were the same I can see the fit being perfect. My frames in the front are pretty banged up from driveways and parking stops, and are not exactly the same shape as they were new. If I choose to purchase this product I will take that into consideration and alter the savers to fit the best I can.

The new sets have allowed for these little extra tolerences. I stand behind each and everyone of my products .The fit and install is just like the video. Buy with confidance from a vendor that will not leave you with a bad product.

Your set is a good fit and you will be just fine.

During install have lots of front legroom, assuming you don't have a lift. I didn't. It will be real obvious if you have a fitment issue. Just wiggle the bolts for a few moments and they'll slide in

Manny, I ordered a set of these late last summer, they never really fit right. I simply blasted them on and hoped for the best. I believe I could use a revised set as well. Thanks Dave

Independent1's I bought a set for my car a while back and with my brother's help (AJG1915) installed them on my car. We had fitment problems too. Luckily my brother had enough sense ( I didn't ) to see what the problem was and modified (cut) the protectors to make them fit perfectly.

I have since modifed the tooling giving more space in the channel to allow for the differences.I stand behind the design and quality of all my products.

Independent1's bro response.

Not a big deal. One side slid in with no problems but the other side was a little tight. Could have been caused by the banging to many curbs.

Simple fix was a little trimming with a air grinder / cut-off wheel.

It's a nice product.

I give a life time warranty on both products. So far I have not had to replace a set yet of either product. The materials I'm using are very resistant to abrasion.
You can always make payment with a M/O .
Pm me for details.

Thx
Manny

I tell people all the time that most of what I've learned comes from mistakes. Sounds like the dimensions have been tweaked to perfection.
Now that's how quality suppliers run a great business KUDOS' Manny...........
