    I did get the 1.6's, but went a whisker short of 2". These cars sit high...There is sooooooo much clearance, you will have zero problems there (Except for the mud flaps, and maybe the front lips on taller curbs.). Should have none up front either. The only thing you may have to worry about is the clearance of the rear tire to the lower spring pockets. I used spacers, but only to fill the wells, I had 4 sheets of paper clearance... :eek5 :hehe

    Those are an aftermarket dual wiper blade set. I made the mistake of buying them, they're horrible - the dual thing is a gimick :eek:ops Your basic rainX wiper set is much much better functionally speaking.

    Oh here's a quick comparison shot on the mirrors. It's an interesting design difference, not sure why they changed them just for USDM/CADM. They may be less aerodynamic but personally I don't care about that, the folding aspect is worth while tradeoff. :D

    Happy to see that you're glad of your purchase, Kevin.
    You made a good job and black mirrors on a white car w/black soft top is really very nice.
