The TYC ones are right nice. If you want a pair of aftermarket ones but dont want to pay as much as the carbon fibers, i got a set thats looks like this

I got ripped off for them paid 370 tax in. And Ill sell them for 200$. Didnt like the look of them on my car...they are for lighter colored cars like white, silver, black if its got chrome compliments. The carbon fiber ones wouldnt look to bad w/ silver because of the carbon fiber and if you had a nice dark tint it would compliment it better aswel...IMO anyways...

I like the style of the top one better, less busy than the G2. Not sure if I'm a fan of carbon fiber tails, I'd go black for TYCs. MX, sorry man, but I hate the RK tails, I tihnk it's the middle light that does it for me.

Paypal wouldn't take Visa or the seller wouldn't take Visa? I just registered my Paypal (just turned 18, figured it'd be a good thing for the spring), and they took my Visa debit card. As for the seller, they don't ever know what kind of card you're using, since Paypal deducts the money from your card, then sends the seller money from Paypal, not your credit card. Also, the black TYC tails look pretty good, here are some pics from Cody's car (Blackhawk). It's an SE, and a metallic version of silver, but it'll get you the idea.

Hey my fellow Saskatchewaner!!! From Saskatoon my self. You think buying from the States is bad, wait till you have to pay for shipping, and wait for customs. What color is your GA? I like the clear LED tails. Payed for a set, but never got them.

Thanks guys. We have the engine running, but not boosted yet. had it on the dyno and got close to 500hp. Looking to be around 900 with the turbo at 15 to 20psi, and 1200hp at 30 to 32 psi. We hope...lol Bought that thing 5 years ago and never got to drive it yet. But back to the thread now!
