I'll check out these when I get my car back. Thanks for the help. It's really appreciated.

Anyone ever order from HPT Motorsports? I know a few guys have their lips and skirts, I placed an order this afternoon for the front lip, been looking for a week and it was in stock the whole time, as soon as i placed my order within an hour I get an email that its back ordered for at least a month. That upset me but no biggie till I looked at my bank account and they took the money out for it while its out of stock and not shipped... what the hell kind of shady business practice is that? Sent an email and am going to call them in the morning, that order will be canceled and the money needs to be back in my account by monday morning. Not impressed HPT.

Somewhat normal for a back order to be pre-paid. Still not right that it was shown as in stock though...

Always-On from Diode Dyanmics, and a quick spot shine of the windows and hood since California is in a serious drought.

Thats where I have a problem. If i knew it was back ordered and it would be a pre paid I would be upset over it. But I ordered from them thinking it was in stock and would ship, and the conformation showed an expected delivery date of this week.

How was the install? Did you remove the stock third brake light? What do you use to cover the holes in the rear deck?

So far they came out pretty well. I still need to wetsand and buff the clear, just letting them dry for a few days before I do that though!
