I took mine to Discount Tire. They sent them out somewhere, and they came back perfect.

Try Autoshield Columbia (link below). The owner's name is "Mark" and he is a first rate installer. Let him know that "Keith" with the white C7 sent you...

Good to know - might be worth the drive to Columbia. How long did the installation take? Sorry to hijack, hope the curb rash is repaired soon!
