That is VERY true. I do my best to not be that one who adds anything and everything cause he doesnt know how to fix up a car. I'd rather have nothing than just get any ol' thing... I DO NOT like to spend money, however, I know it takes money to look good and be unique! just sucks cause there are so many BAD *** VIP's out there and I'll probably never be as tight! but I'll try my best. Much PROPS to you guys who have the tight shiits!

I know JP tails are major quality stuff and all, but why would anyone spend that much money on it if there is a LED version available? They look so identical(thin led tails), sometimes I have a hard time differentiating them

Just doesn't make sense to me and I am a Junction Produce fanatic myself

But then again you guys work hard for your money, and if it makes you happy then

Not pointing any fingers, but I dont think some understand why I chose these over MANY! I dont like the pattern that all the other LED's have! These have MANY more LED's which give it a better look... Even the ones from Junction Produce (if I remember correctly) have less which come out looking like squares when it lights up, IMO that looks cheap, these actually have the shape of the oem tail light when it lights up.. you dig?

Well, I want to sell the new OEM set I have first and brand new Tein drop springs, so I dont have to drop all the $ at once (but then again, I havent posted up the sale ) I'll probably end up just buying it and hoping I sell what I have... (sorry, I'm dealing with more than one project at the moment on two different cars) The GS is going in for paint job This weekend, so it'll be a while before they go on.. I'll keep the updates. I'll open a thread on the whole build as to follow.
