yeah, your rear end does look pretty tight from this angle...

Justin, why? I have the same tails and my LED red signals are very bright. I agree that it would have been better if USR had not sprayed the reflector inside a smoked color too.

Well, if he has a filament bulb, i could DEFINITELY see it...if you look past the lense you'll see the reflector has a matte black finish to it to make it looked more smoked. Some strong 7440 LED's would help that out a lot...

My LED signals are amber and I find them very bright. I'll have someone drive the car and I'll ride behind and check them out in the daytime.

Rocky, i dont think he has the diffuser in the rear blinker and hence wayyyy dimmer....

like in the fronts, i dont have a diffuser and hence my 120 LED's were also dim, i had to go with 90SMT led's

No se, broday...
But I can tell you that I have seen mine from behind and they are pretty dang bright, considering. I DO wish USR wouldn't have painted over the reflective area around the bulb. On my base reds the leds were MAD bright!

Yea some ppl prefer the XXR's but I thought they were too matchy in color and the style made the car look more like a fast/race car but the fitment was damn pefect on those. I've always like mesh wheels with a lip so I think I prefer these. The color I am not too sure about but almost everybody digs it. I am still yet to achieve the desired fitment with these wheels so better fitment is yet come. I will run different size tires but I am wearing these out first. Yea I know about the tails. A local member has figured out the root cause of those LED's going out and I will have it fixed soon.

Nice shots man...
the guy that does your editing (or is that you?) takes a lot of time editing the same shot in different methods. Overall, looks awesome...I too, dug your xxr's but these are some sectsy vs-x's...the loud color, not usually my taste, but not too bad.

Nice headlights! they came out great, man!

What's the fix for the LED board?!?! Loose solder?
