If you can wait they are suppose to be making me some with less pressure.
Do not know the ETA though. Hopefully soon.
The only problem i had was after they were installed and then I changed fenders they tore up my paint on the fenders by rubbing. This has happened to few members....be careful

Yes it was preventable. It happened after my car went to the body shop..Sundeviljay had an issue also same spot had to move the hood. Damaged his paint also..I heard of others complaining of same thing......Not Knocking Randy or his work, but when you remove the fenders the hood needs adjusting before closing..Close the hood slow..
