Message yes - i saw woody's post as well and thought the same thing. I may switch to the GTZ lip so I can keep the black stripe - especially if the paint match is not perfect.

re: driveshaft
The pro is that you save on shipping by only shipping the section that you need. I probably saved $30 on shipping.

The con is that the flange has to be removed. The bolt holding the flange in place has the highest torque spec that I have seen in the FSM at 245 to 294 N-m (181 to 217 ft-lbs) so it is tricky to remove. I ended up placing the u-joints in a vice and then using a 6 ft piece on pipe over my breaker bar to get enough leverage to crack it. After that you can remove the flange with a bearing puller.
