or you could simply leave your 01 as is b/c they look plenty sporty enough where as the older tegs(b/n 94-97)had a slightly rounded/boring look. i mean why waste a bunch of money on something that really does you no good expcept draw attention to a car that allready gets plenty if you keep em looking good! Besides I know the roads here in AL suck and I can only imagine about CA pot holes so why take a chance on wasting money for it to be destroyed by one bad pot hole or steep driveway. just my opinion though that the tegs look good stock especially lowered!
