USGear (Strange Gear) Part # 01-875373X
which is a thick series 2 which will fit your car.
Someone please verify this. Thanks.

You sir, are correct!
(Except the part # is wrong, gotta change the 373 to a 342 so the right part # is 01-875342X)Here go read these two threads, I'm too lazy to post the same information a third time today:

Then if you have any more questions, please ask!
In a nutshell:
The gears you bought are useless unless you change carriers. Don't worry, the same thing happened to me, but I sold my gears to someone who could use them for $50!
