Let us know how it goes. I have my order on will call from L-tuned so hopefully I will be getting mine soon too (my brother is a customer of Carson Toyota and lives not to far from them) so he will be picking them up for me then I will see him at the Japanese Classic Car Show in Irvine on the 12th.

Congrats. Are they all you expected them to be?

Actually to be honest no they're not. I got mine from carson and i fully understand that they are just a backing but its made of really really thin plastic. Dont get me wrong they look nice and i'm still gonna get them installed and painted but i just thought it was gonna be more.......impact resistant. Know what i mean?

Hmm...I can picture what you mean, but I wonder just how different it is from what the stock cover is. Funny in that I just got a call from my bro telling me he picked up my part from Carson just now, so hopefully I will give you a lowdown on what my first impression is too when I get a hold of them.

Wait until you take off the factory piece it's just as flimsy they're both lightweight,when you put it together it sturdys up.

Congrats on the new mod

Hey buddy, would you mind tell me how much you got it for?
I am debating if I should get them.
Are they hard to install since you have to remove the original??

My buddy can bring me a set when he comes for SEMA show, I just have to decide if I want them.
