Hi "PF",

Greetings to you. Say, show us a picture so that we might drool over your beautiful vert. PF, what is important is that YOU like them. Great avatar.

Best Wishes,
Eden

I think they look very good - I'd keep them on the car. Remember, if you like it, that's what really counts.

HaHa just kidding... see this is what's so great about modding. It truely makes your car... well.. YOURS! So do what you want. Some people like to bling their side markets while others are going to wipe them clean. Just have fun and always cut the red wire last!
