Looks cool. :cheers:

I see what you mean about the LED's being a straight on deal. Kinda dim at an angle.

Yeah. I can't wait to get the new ones but at $50 a pair 6 lights is a lot of money. I've got more important things to take care of first:p

My headers FINALLY CAME. So I stuck em on today. Now I can actually finish the exhaust. These fit like they're supposed too and have 2-1/2" collectors. Oh yeah baby.

thxs guys:cool:

I guess to expain my previous post would help also.

I ordered these from an eBay seller who aparrently runs a salvage yard and sells parts. Anyway, the two were seperate listings but I ordered them at the same time, and paid for them on a single invoice. I paypal'd the guy on 03/04 and confirmation of shipping on 03/15. I was about to message him about it but he got to me first. I'm like, ok, musta had a bad week or something. Whatever, let it go. So 3 days later, 1 (ONE) shows up. WTF? I looked over the shipping confirmation, only one was supposed to be sent out. WTF? So I wait another 2 days, thinking MAYBE he'll send confirmation on the next one. Nope. Message the guy and I said hey, I know stuff happens, but why the heck would you send out half my order and hold out on the rest? Could you please send me some communication here so I know what's going on? I said I don't want to give you a negative rating so if there's a good reason for whatever's going on let me know. I wait three more days, never got a reply but I did finally get shipping confirmaition on my whole order, yes, 2 headers, on 03/23. Now, here it is 03/31, 8 days later and if finally showed up.

Well, I haven't gone over to eBay yet to leave seller feedback and I've never left negative feedback, but he will be getting a big fat NEGATIVE.

Oh, did I mention he charged me $29.99 in total shipping charges?

And it's not like he had to pull the off the car either b/c the pictures of the item's were exactly what I recieved, and they were by themselves, probably taken down off of a shelf, and then put back for easy access.

$30 in shipping for a pair of LTs could be what he paid.  Punch it into UPS or check the sticker. I've been accused of pumping up S&H before (when I sell on ebay).  I usually bill a couple bucks above shipping for shipping materials (Boxes, foam, tape, driving back and forth to USPS).  I've received some nasty emails about how the box showed up and the sticker read $17.86 and I charged them $20.  I don't sell alot, so I typically am making special trips and whatnot unlike summit or somebody.  Sometimes I have to buy a box to ship the item.

I just imagine a pair of LTs comes in a huge box and weighs at least 20#. Don't get me wrong, $30 still seems kinda high.

Also, where are the pics?
My car is a gravity hybrid.  The gasoline engine gets me up the hills, and gravity gets me down.

$29.99 sounds about right. Shipping charges have gone up again. It's not cheap anymore.

Well actually, they were shorties, not longtubes.

Secondly, I wasn't complaining about the fact of how much he charged me, but the fact that he charged me that much and I didn't  get my stuff for almost a whole month later with no explanation.

Its hard to get pics of them worth a  but there are a few pictures on the thread I linked to in post #265 above.
