Hey, I bought the big bars far my saab wagon, and they dont go past the mirrors, but they are rather big. There has been some head trauma since I have gotten them. So my question is, should I cut them down? How long are your bars? ;)

thanks

note Good that you have a wagon.  Recent sedans, like our Accord, allow very little bar spread, and I, personally, won't ezwater New
