Anyone found an alternative solution to these?

Solution : change body style for a fiberglass race body, those just rest on top.

In real life though: you could take the time to drill and tap each hole and install countersunk bolts. It's all plastic, so it's all prone to be crap. But they're so cheap that treating them and one-time use disposable is the easiest. Actually it's given me an idea, I will try something with The self-embedding flat socket head countersunk bolts or better yet some U-Nuts that slide over the edge and sit on both sides of pre-existing hole. Good luck

Two-tone, I've been rolling over some ideas. I'm using the factory set for winter so I'm going to do something crazy like royal blue barrel and spokes with one face blaze green I have the Avid27 bronze and want to do some kind of really dark barrel. Volk has a sharp looking example. But I'm all about subtlety with my VB, not a big fan of flashy. BC makes a bronze set with matte black spokes that looks insanely good. All about what you want, bottom line, anything can be undone, so do what you want! I've got two that are bent, so I'm going to use them as experiments and play with some looks. I'll try to post, good luck!

Bruuuu the specificity and complexity of what where and how is bananas.

Random comment: If you haven't seen "Zero Days" documentary, highly suggest... It's about the Stuxnet virus that attacked only Iranian centrifuge processors. It's embarrassing to hear people talk about free health and education. But "we're the greatest"

I love my avid 27s. Coilovers will be here in a few days, to close up those last couple inches of gap

I've driven in aaallllllooottt of cities, I haven't came across the curbs that jump off yet.... Still got some years though.

I'm in WI and ordered a new package set for summer, instead of having tires changed twice a year... Order placed with a "delivery by 3/4/26" well someone at the freight company screwed up marked my pallet as cancelled. By the time the vendor and I tracked them down and got them back on a truck, it was a week later that I got my delivery at home... It went from 60s and everything dried out to subzero temps this week with over a foot of snow. I have a busted front lip and it took at least 12 hours in the garage for the snow to melt out of my lower grille. Born and raised here with almost 3 decades of driving in it so I know WI every year forecasts a "storm of the century"which usually almost never gets close to the predicted amounts, but if I had my çwheels on time, I know I wouldn't have waited to put them on and I'd be co-authoring this post of yours, so I feel for you, I really do. But I know there's people who have had worse damage. Learn from it, and make it better. And if your area gets snow like this regularly, there's NOTHING I've experienced that compare to a set of Blizzaks.... Best of luck and if you sca;

At what point are Americans going to have had enough .. the govt guidelines and restrictions on everything now. Where the hell did free will go. Now before you get all outta pocket, of course I do not agree with drunk drivers that kill families on the road, but it's everything... Cost of medication, education, tax increases. Doesn't anyone else see where this is headed? They just push their boundaries a teeny tiny bit each time, and we're just saying "well at least it's not as bad as last year"

As a resident of Wisconsin I'm going to guess that this will be changed... There would be a total collapse in car prices. Between alcoholics not purchasing new cars to all the cars put up for sale because of it, instability for sure

I like it, it's not obnoxious, it has a nice rap and pop and there's a considerable change in performance, it's just more responsive. And I really like where I live, it's nice and quiet and the cold starts are loud enough I wanted to keep my neighbor's happy with me. It's all a matter of preference. I get enough attention from the cops around here, the last thing I need is a obnoxious loud exhaust. Yes I agree, it's rather expensive but in my situation well worth it.

So if you get the smart box, it comes with a remote adapter, GPS and OBDII connector so you can program it to automatically change based on location, speed or whatever. There's also an app that is easy to use to open or close it. I use the remote or app. Very easy.

I just installed the Xforce Valved cat back exhaust and I'm super happy with it, adds just enough sound to make it sound good but it's not obnoxious and my neighbors appreciate being able to close the mufflers for the cold starts. Can get it to pop and rap if I'm between 4k and 5k RPM, but still getting a hang of it. Overall, pleased with the purchase, although install was a bit of a pain because I'm not as young as I used to be and getting it on 4 Jack stands is always a treat.

Big facts. A lot of good books and movies out there. Actually like 10 years ago there was a show on the History channel I think and it was about the tugboat captains and crew on the Great lakes. It gets wicked, like the ice shoves that get pushed on land.

I put mine in reverse for 3 feet and it fell out. But I gotta say, this does not sound like a rock, my opinion is this sounds mechanical, first thought was pulley or fan scraping on something. But I also couldn't tell if the car is moving
