Worth it IMO... There is no other option besides blacking out the stocker, and I don't like that. It fits awesome, near OEM. And is LED which IMO updates the car, will go perfect with my HID fogs/lows as well as the LEDs on the interior.

It is pricey for some plastic and two strips of LED bulbs but completely worth it... I would have paid 60$... It is something not everyone and their brother has.

on the "black/no smoke" you can really see the wires/LEDs from the top, makes it look very cheap.

The smoke makes those much less visible. I wouldn't say "better", just in my personal opinion it is more aesthetically pleasing.
I just got an email from them....thats the only color their vendor makes.

And thanks for letting us all know if this is the right one.........I'm gonna order one.

I think it looks damn good....................well worth $45.00.

It looks like it'll match my charcoal grey CETA bumper paint.

So lemons, can you describe to us exactly what you felt when you realized the part was the correct one? Would you do it again for another part? Would you like to be considered for MVM (most valuable member)?


LOL!

No problem... I think the smoke will look the best anyway.

LOL!


I was on my way work and called my mom to check in on her since she just had surgery. All my parts get shipped to her house and she said O yea, you got a box. I asked her to open it because I wasn't sure what it would be. Asked where it was from and she said Cali and I said OPEN IT NOW (in a satanic voice) and she did, who wouldnt?
I was asking her to explain it and said F it, I'll be there in 30 seconds, she lives on the way to my work and the suspense was killing me.
I ran in real quick and she already had it sitting out on the counter. I looked at it and then stared real good. I wanted to make sure that my eyes were not deceiving me before I falsely relayed the message to you guys.
I said got to go and ran outside.. I got in my truck and then it hit me. I would get flamed HORRIBLE if I didn't get pics so I ran back inside and snapped a few pics.



I will accept that nomination!

Thank you sir for biting the bullet and ordering one of these and taking one for the team! Easily worth $45 since it seems a used stocker is that price or more. I'll be placing my order for one this weekend. It goes well with my white/black theme.

Thanks again sir!

Be very careful, the stocker does not react well to paint. Do a search. I tried to VHT my stocker, prep was all correct, and as happens with almost everybody the paint just cracks. Some people think it's something to do with the plastic itself.
