Ya, I got them off Luis, I got em for 500 bux, please correct if I'm wrong but I though they used to be 800. I think that one site lextacy sells them for 850 dollars. I hear theyre not good to buy from them anyways, but thats another story.

Hmm.. nice... But not $500 shmackers nice. Too much for my blood.

Sorry if I didn't understand what you said, but since the car didn't stock with them, does that mean you'd have to splice some wires?

Doesnt look like any wire splicing is needed, since it has vampires. But gotta see how to tell which wires have power when the door is open.

Sorry for no update, I'm stuck working massive overtime and wont have a day off until Monday the 10th of July to put these on.

Ya my plastic is still on to, but I think when I put the new plates on Im gonna take the plastic off, even though I hate to. Im very careful not to rub my feet on everthing getting into the car but it seems like everyone else getting in the car does. Plastic on illuminated would defeat the purpose I guess

If all of you still have the plastic on your scuf plates that means your dealer didn't do their job correctly on delivery and remove it. Part of their PDI (pre-delivery inspection) checklist is to remove all shipping plastic.

The new plates are on and look amazing, will post pics soon, I said I would put install instructions, but it was to complicated so I had a shop install them, they had to tap into different powers so that each plate would come on individually. I wasnt even trying to attempt putting these in myself. They did a great job and if they read this I wanna say thanks again. If you get them any competent shop should install them in a coule hours.
