Brian!

Maybe you are suffering from classic Drastic Mod Shock Syndrome or DMS.

It happens to me all the time and it goes like this:

You hunt for and desire a certain mod day in day out. You see it on other cars and like it. You want it more and more and the longer it takes to get the more you think it's gonna kick ***. You mentally build up this incredible result by the time you finally get your hands on it. You install the mod, sit back, and BAM!!! Squat.

What happened? Why aren't I cleaning myself?

It's DMS. Happens to me a lot. There's a cure, tho. Usually something like this takes time before it starts to convince you that it rocks. Give it a week. If that goes by and you still want your 95's back on, then there ya have it. You were right.

So give 'er some time, they may grow on you.

I too suffer from this same syndrome every now and then!!! It even applies to women and other things as well! lol

I just put my 97 tails on a few minutes ago, but I LOVE THEM!!

One more for good measure(And this is not an attempt to make you keep your 97 Tails B. - just using them as a reference )

You prefer the soarer tails? that doesn't make any sense. They're the same damn thing. Soarers have three sets as well as the SC's

Close...it's chrome colored pinstriping. It's amazing how much it looks like it came with the car. A nice original touch that makes the rear look newer...cheap too. Can't be copied either. Most won't like it. Those who do will have to acknowledge copying if they do it. Hehe.
