I hate to say it prop, but I'm not really feeling them, and your mods in my opinion are always spot on, I literally would aspire to mod in the way that you do as you do it just how I would.

If I see full car pics I'll know better whether I think they flow, but something is off, not sure what in my opinion.

You're not alone, RB. I said it when seeing the PS picture. They look too "weak" for the SAV. I'll wait for the pictures to see if they will grow on me.

I think its the bend of the spokes and the excessive lip (clearcoated, not polished like yours) that makes it look very aftermarket.

The 20" Style 132 look so much better IMO, very muscular wheel design, with all the weight savings of the BBK why not put those back on

Personally. I don't feel these or TMVs. I don't know why. I like rims with lips, just not right on our cars.

this is just for reference

Well.. yesterday was the day. I finally got the correct right tail light in from ECS Tuning this week. It was a quick delivery made quicker by my wish to go ahead and buy the correct part while my return was in transit.

ECS was GREAT about the return. Since I did not open or install the sockets and the other light, they allowed me to return them with no problem. I rec'd a full refund after I closely followed their RMA process. Of course, I had to pay for return freight, but that's to be expected. It was my mistake to begin with. Great experience. Far from my first or last purchase.

It's SO nice to have no audible alerts at start and shutdown! I like to think I get used to the little things, but it sure is nice to just cruise along without worry about errors. Totally worth the money for the whole assembly including sockets and bulbs.

Did they correct the issue, or is it a matter of time till the same happens to these tails?
