Nice. Good thing you caught it. How long have you had the car?

They are supposed to be outright removed before delivery right?

Hard to believe that dealers are still overlooking these things after all these years.

I guess I don't know how you could have missed that when you washed the car... surely you've washed it multiple times since you've owned it.

Wow that's a completely different type of spacer from what I've seen. The ones I pulled off the rear of mine (AFTER 4 YEARS ((6 months under my ownership)) ) looked more like the kind of thing that girls separate their toes with when they paint em
