APC products...

my parents and girlfriend came to me today and asked what i wanted for christmas so of course i said, "stuff for my car!" so i got to thinking, im really tired of the orange on my car SO i'm gonna ask for cleared tails or bumpers lights. now, i can only seem to find one company that makes both for my car (95se) and its APC. my question is... are their products of good quality? if their tails are crappy and prone to breaking should i just keep the factory ones? thanks guys!

the blinkers are all the same really, the nicer ones are the dimond cut ones . As far as the tail lights, they only have rear full outer clear tails. TO get that clear/red look you will have to paint them with transparent paint.

APC sucks. They suck long, they suck hard. The quality is terrible. They're on their 3rd generation of taillights now because their first 2 sucked so bad. Do you know how many recalls they had? Their bulbs blow out pretty quick, at least all the ones I had did. Their taillights leak and so do their clear corners. The foglights they make aren't very good either. Plus the guys that run it are tools. The only reason they're still in business is Altezza taillights.

You're better off getting the regular clears b/c the <> cuts leak & fog up...
As for APC products, there's a reason why nobody gets them. They just suck period!!!!!!........

yes you can make your look like the 97+
Buy the clear tailz for the 95-96 max
Go to pep boys, they have tail light paint there. Get the candy apple red paint
Then just paint your lower part of the clear tailz and you have the clear / red tailz.
I believe it takes about 4 coats to match the inner tail light
