Sorry the malhokc the guy lied to me, didn't mean to get your hopes up, I know mine hopes were high and he just stomped them. I also did not install the rear tailight guards, they look wierd because of the pointy part on the bottom inside left. The ones pointing towards the license's plate

Thanks TN3 for the update. I did check with many other aftermarket places for the rear euro (altezza) lights. No one other than the dealers make them, at least for now. One company (bestdarnparts.com) is pretty current with the selection. They told me to try back in couple of months.

Malhock i am so dissapointed with that guy who lied to me. I was so looking foward to them. Thanks for forgiving me about bragging about them in the first place. Does www.bestdarnparts.com sell side tubes? If so how much?

Tn3,
No problem. I'm sorry it didn't work with you.
Re: side tubes: I know bestdarnparts have the front brush guards, but don't list the side tubes. You may want to call them 1-800-250-2761 for the side tubes.
Another place that sells them is urbanjunglesuv.com. I bought mine from here. Don't recall $$ ~$250. It's a WAAG brand, which I think looks better then the MANIK.

Can some one answer this:
Does 4spd (auto) include Overdrive or it gives 5 gearing options with the over-drive?
