I guess it's official. My flaps are 16" from the top rivet to the bottom of the flap. It is 5" from the bottom of the flap to the bottom of the car.

OK... I am torn! I like the profile of going lower BUT I don't feel the wheels. I think the other ones look WAYYYYY better IMO. Either way, the exhaust is what I love on that,lol.....

LOL I kind of like the other wheels as well. I put these back on because I go for the alignment this week and don't want the other rims to get scratched.

Well last time we did the alignment the head fell off of the wheel. The other wheels are sank in the tire pretty far. That's why I put these on.

I like both rims....
Titan's color FTW.

BTW, what is the tire profile? looks like you could go a little taller to get some more meet around them

The titans are 205/40/15 and the sport editions are 215/45/17.
I had made a mistake buying the ones on the titans but had to run with it. Next time they will be 215/45/17.

super easy to use and VERY durable. It's what I used on the cavalier front bumper. Significantly cheaper than $500.

You still can try to find e-codes and make a projector headlight setup.

I had to take one apart yesterday because it quit working. It has resistors or what ever inline on the positive side and I have to get new ones.
