Look at the other pic. The one on the right has a slight wave in the middle, the lip titled down, and it pops up right below the left head light:

well what are you looking to get out of them? i JUST bought yoko's and they are great tread wise and for summer. but the stretch is smaller as they for some reason are more "bulky" to where a 195 fits like a 205. thickness is the same, just the width that is off a bit. not fond of the neo gen

he has koni/gc setup as well lol. and w/ tophats. those make the difference as far as keeping the ride somewhat decent. no slammed car is going to ride well by standard means. its all in the eye of the beholder...

Wet-sand with 2000 grit paper, one or two passes, buff, and polish.

i just switched from 205/40 to 205/45 since the 40's were too annoying. you have to be slammed for them to look right and i'm over dodging every pebble in the road. i would also recommend s.drives seeing as they get so many great reviews and tirerack ranks them pretty high. choice is yours, hope this picture helps:
