They make a huge difference. Pm me and I'll send you some before and after pictures.

I would also like to know about the logo...looks like a sticker to me? *shrugs*

The logo is etched or burnt on its not a sticker 👍🏻

Took a nasty hit from what looked like a really bent LCA that a truck fired at me like a bullet on the highway. Almost missed it but obviously one end went under the car and threw the other end up. Normally a "shit happens" kind of guy when it comes to dings and such but this one has to get fixed.

Based on where it is, he must have been passing you when it happened?

He was actually in the right lane and I was coming up beside him. It shot out from his rear tires across the road in front of me and then did almost a 90 and was coming straight at me down the center of the lane. I almost got over enough to miss it but was boxed in and didn't have enough room to get over any further. All this happened in an eye blink mind you!

You got some mighty fast reflexes!


During lunch, I got bored. Turned around and remembered I had backseats. So I ran over to the passenger's side, slid the seat forward and jumped right in.

Let's just say my heart goes out to those who has to sit back there. It's comfy and snug... from the knees up.

If you aren't in a booster seat, I doubt the back seats are comfortable at all.
I prefer to use them as storage compartments :p

I put my luch bag in the backseats, when i take corners with high speed i know my lunch will not be a mess because those seats hold tight.

I got almost the same hit, in the same area. That flare attracts a lot of debris. Sorry, bud. :-(

Attracts is the right word! It was headed across the road and I was all, like "ahhhh missed".
Then in defiance of everything I thought I knew about physics it changed direction for no apparent reason and headed right for me at full speed.
Was like freakn' Magneto was hiding in my trunk.
