I have the extenders, the problem was wear do you run them to? since the mounts are under the rear deck and there is no access to the trunk I didn't want to make a hole in the rear deck and have them sticking out.

What I just ended up doing for now and might keep it like this for awhile is I ran them though the opening where you hook up the child seat.

In your opinion, is it even worth getting the extenders? Bc I don't want to poke holes in my trunk either

It depends how much you like to tinker around with the settings.

For me I'm the type of person who likes to play around with them alot, depending on my driving mood, people in the car, which wheels I'm running...things like that.

So for me it was definitely worth it and since I found a way to run though though an existing opening and if I feel like it and just tuck them away I'm very satisfied now.

Im able to lift my rear deck up to reach the dampers. Its just velcro and a tab that holds it on.

these look pretty cool, wish they made them for megans. My question is how many times do you guys adjust the damping? Wouldn't you just adjust the damping to the desire ride and just leave it alone?

It would be cool to run the extenders to the rear arm rest. Just pull over, drop the rear armrest, adjust them dampers and take off. I still think TEIN needs to get on it. WE NEED EDFC !!!
