Sorry to bump an oldie. Is the linked vqpower review before they made the second batch or after?

 

It is after.

 

I agree. DavidL's ARE overrated. Closeup you can definitely see the imperfections due to the fact they are hand-painted. Moreover, they fade noticeably in just a few years. I'm sure you don't want to go opening them up and having to repaint them.

Hopefully, the CE tails had their fitment woes fixed. Even still, the quality control sucked. I would recommend anyone who gets these to coat the outer edge where the back meets the front with sealant to avoid leaks. The CE takes look really good IMHO and both inner and outer tails actually MATCH.

 

They probably never had a second batch, just keep pushing the same thing...
