Sorry to hear about your wheel problem. I hope it gets resolved quickly. Keep us updated.
The caps just arrived a little while ago...wheels are going on tomorrow!
Thanks Sewell...sorry for all of my "where in hell are my center caps?" phone calls to customer service.

Good luck with your kit install VikH!

DDUUUUDEEEEE!!!!!

I just check my confirmation, and my package is in NJ at the Fedex headquarters.

My company is an E-Retailer so we are located in the business park right beside the Fedex headquarters, like 5 min walk away.

The package got there at 4:56pm, I got off work at 4:59pm.

I forgot to check before I leave, and now the facility is closed all weekend and I have to wait till Monday until its delivered

I can't believe I drove past my front lip passing within 1000 ft of it while getting off work today and didn't pick it up!!!!!!

I hate you . That was such a great deal, I wanted the front lip so bad. Unfortunately it was going to cost $800 to ship it out here..

$800 for shipping???? That's crazy, especially when the lip was $63 during the GB.
