Installed Black Bow Ties obtained from California Car Cover. Half the price, half the quality. Fit and finish are poor. Rear bend does not conform to trunk lid shape and they are painted rather than powder coated. You can see silver through the sharp edges and the finish is not smooth since they painted over dust, etc. They are however, good "ten-footers", meaning they look good from a distance. If I get some powder coating done I will remove them and have them done as well.

Have owned the 'maro for a year now, (12500 miles), and still love it. Have not had it to the dealer once. Completed the services myself. I do have a rattle in the left door that doesn't bother me with the radio on. Aslo. the drive train seems to have a little play in it. When you let off the gas it clanks with the reduction in load. Anyone else having this experience? Had some extremely loud popping out of the left rear end in a sharp accelerating left turn when I first got it. Have not had any problems since. I figure at this point don't worry about noises...when it breaks then I will know what it was.

Looks great!

Not heard of those problems other than the popping on turns...don't know the fix as I never had it so didn't follow the threads.
