Cheapest spare is a Mazda RX8. It's ugly yellow. I have one that I use when traveling with my red SC. In all my cars I keep a Lexus Flat Repair System. http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2007/4343.html
If I get a slow leak, caused by a nail, I can just pump up the tire with the included compressor. If needed it also includes a TPMS safe stop leak injectable solution.

Run flats must be thrown away if you get a puncture. They cannot be repaired.

...if I'm not mistaken Shawn, that gap is there if you have an 06' bumper but use the 02-05 lights.If you buy the 06 lights also, this should eliminate the gap/space. I will know in a few days because I'm doing the change over on my 02 this week.

Sc4me, Tex is correct. If you upgraded both the bumper and headlights to 06+ then there would be no gap. Sorry, I was under the impression you were only asking about upgrading one or the other. I'm sorry, I hope you didn't miss that deal. Keep us posted.

Honestly, I feel exactly the same way. I'm sure I will catch some flack for saying this, but I'm not a huge fan of the 06+ projector lights nor the 06+ tailights. I like the "roundness" of the lamps. Fits the theme of the car better, in my opinion. I know I'm in for some trouble now...
