Default Best black halos

I have a set on the car right now, but would like to get another set. Mine are spidering a little and have gotten a bit scuffed. Just wanted to see who has had the best luck with them and who you got them from. Also, are there any rear side markers out there that are smoked or is it nightshade or nothing? Thanks for the help.

I got mine off another member here actually. I forgot where he got them from. They have been on the car since about Apr/May '05.

I got mine from a place called Matrix Racing, but if you ask me, it's all the same supplier, I don't think there's any difference between the ones you find from different vendors and from Ebay.

Matrix Racing here, my friend bought black halos from Ebay and they are spiderwebbing and the stripping is cracking! They aren't even 6 months old. Mine are perfect after 2 years.

Mine are spidering as well. Matrix just costs so much! But, I guess you get what you pay for...
