Yeah pretty much. My wife wanted a particular set of wheels on her car that I thought would be close but make it. They didn't. I had rubbing front and rear AT STOCK HEIGHT! I did a quick roll on the fronts and it fixed the problem. Running a reasonable wheel size and offset you won't have a problem. Shes dropped on HFP kit now. Looks and drives great.

It really wasn't too bad at all. I had a heat gun already so I just heated the fender until it was just slightly uncomfortably hot to the touch and just took my time gently increasing the pressure from the roller. The fender liner clips all broke so I need to get a couple replacements. The tabs that held the liner in place got folded nearly flat to the fender but that allowed me to tuck the liner behind the tabs to hold it. It seems very solid and I don't think ill have any issues with it.

The rears were a whole 'nother can of worms.

anyone recommend a specific honda dealership over another in the Bedford, Ma (not New Bedford) area? Was thinking of going to Burlington. Gotta get my oil changed before I head out on this 15hr drive back home to Indiana.

Wow man that's a heck of a drive. If you're crossing NY be careful once you cross the state line from MA. Tons of cops sit right around Albany on 90. I'm sure you're aware. The big 4 lane section seems to settle down a bit.

Canajoharie exit is another place to be cautious. The trooper station is right in there somewhere. Utica area you can usually blast.

I used to drive to RI a lot. I loved getting on the pike cause it only cost me $1.60 end to end and I could do 80. Back to NY it was like $7 and tons of cops.

appreciate the heads up. I was thinking of taking I-90W to Akron and then cut down Ohio to southern Indiana to my dads house.

A Hawk! That's kinda cool but hopefully he didn't eat anything on your car and leave you a bloody mess, scratches, or tuck a lil snack inside the open roof!

What a drive. Ended up making it out here to Indiana in 13.5 hrs. In Ohio someone in an eclipse pulled up next to while we was on the highway. Took off and made him look silly. Tho I hit 106. Afterwards he kept pulling up next to me but I didn't pay him no attention after that.

Definitely brave to be doing that in Ohio! No need to prove yourself more than once.
