I like the pink tint. Amazes me when people black it out and it looks like crap. Sure some setups it works but it's pretty rare imo

Aren't the Depo one + KevinD harness like ~$400? Seems pretty good deal to me. And probs you could even make your own harness if you wanted to.... That's like what? 4hrs of overtime?

400-500 is slightly more than I'd like to spend at this point in time. If it were like 4 years ago I'd probably jump on it. I'm a little more stingy when it comes to buying my car gifts now days.

I basically got my OEMs with harness for less than $200 .

tl;dr, I got fucked by Aliexpress when the lights arrived as one of them cracked. I tried to return them but they wouldn't let me even though the item has 100% buyer protection. I issued a charge back with ample evidence of everything and got 3 tail lights for free. Bought a replacement for < $200. Harness I won from a raffle

Is there a difference from USA having dual (clear) reverse lights? Why not just do both?

The red stitching is nice. So is the blacked out interior + blacking out the silver trim that runs around the dash. Upholstery repair people have a hard time/not possible to get a 1:1 match to the ruby red stiching though :/

Also the pedals have a striking resemblance to the S200's pedals too, especially the brake and clutch pedal.

Have you noticed that sometimes when tipping on a credit card receipt, the money is actually never removed from your bank account?

I'm thinking there is no way to migrate the links right? I'm sure a lot of DIY and useful information is lot forever now.... so sad.
Theoretically, if you were to take your build thread and re-host all the pictures somewhere that doesn't suck, or upload them to Azine, I can go back and edit the original posts so it works.

Not the most eloquent solution, and will take some effort for both of us, but we can make it work. Just let me know.

I wonder if you'd be willing to dedicate some time to that solution or to maybe contacting admin to help IB find a solution.
