I’ve had a pair of these for about 18 months and very pleased with them. They come in wide as well

Its a tool and it does what is intended- puts a big smile on my face, which I suppose is pretty ugly as well. The CCDB is very good.

Beuaty is in the eye of the beholder:0 Got to say I am really enjoying mine. Broke my 07 epic and was looking for something that can take anything I could do to it and the handsome seemed to fit the bill, in my price range. Had a sub 5 in 2003-2008 which was getting a bit old.
