Looks nice, but I hope you aren't in love with your stock struts, they won't be around long, lol

Why do you say that?

My stock struts are holding up just fine.

How long have the sportlines been on the car? I've seen stock struts blow anywhere from 2,000 to 17,000 miles after sportlines were put on...It would appear many oem strut assemblies seem to have issues with the significant change brought upon by the sportlines

I took flak for this before, but sportlines are oem strutkillers
