if they were the wrong ones, i would of ordered the KW today for sure. i think they will ride pretty good, hopefully not too soft where it will start making me rub.

if they are too soft you could always turn up the setting on the shocks and even get stiffer spring rates. Usually people only recommend moving up or down 2k

The molding comes out to a lot more, but I think it'll be well worth it as well. I honestly don't think you should delete it; it looks empty without the "L" in its traditional center spot. Looking forward to the pics with everything installed.

Most likely comes with a gel coat. I doubt it has a clear coat on it.

Is this a good idea to clear? Reason i ask is that I ordered a complete kit. Will the clear stick to the gel coat? Is the reason people put a clear coat on it to protect if from yellowing?

Its never a bad idea to add another layer of clear to aftermarket parts. You never know how good the clear coat they put on it so it does not hurts to add another just for protection.

Can anyone confirm that toms has a gel coat or clear coat?

Can a clear be applied right away or does it need to be sanded first?
