Hah, so not happening anymore.

Just brought headers and I have other pending projects to finish before my next autox 12/12 (Bills, Dyno Time, Tires, Brakes, Rear Sway Bar).

Maybe it'll be an xmas present to myself?

I have felt otherwise. I know you're one of those people who advise against it, but after driving a max w/ a progress on the back, I'm sold.

Now for the usual price of $150, i won't buy it, but it's for sale locally $75, if it's still avail when I have the money I'll get it.

I could see how one could say it's unstable, but even still, lets say I'm not getting a RSB, I'd get those subframe collars instead... Just trying to make the point I'd rather get my car ready for the autox final this year instead of buying tail lights.

Agreed. What we need is a trustworthy dedicated member to be a tester for new products. I'm sure some people wouldn't mind pitching in a few dollars to get someone to try out new stuff, write reviews and install pics. Then afterwards, could sell them at a dicount in the classifieds. Just a thought

No one's gonna try these. Fact is that they look cool in the pic but they'll look like crap on the car when the lights are on. Everyone who considers them long enough realizes this and is nervous about wasting their hard earned money. That said, would somebody please buy them and post pics so we can all have our curiosity satisfied???

I sent an email earlier to the seller stating that several people on maxima.org are courious and interested in these lights. I told him that alot of people are skeptical about fitment and look with bulbs installed. I asked for a demo set, I will let you know what they say.

Its a useless heavy peice of metal. I had a Progress RSB 8 years ago. It didnt last long. I know exactly how it feels. I know exactly what it does and doesnt do. All it does is bind the suspension, especially when you are lowered. Spend $30 on the trailling arm bushings. If you are really into autox you would get your beam bent.

QFT!!!

There is no need for a RSB on a solid axle vehicle anyway. Use poly bushings for your FSB end links and call it a day.

Please note that I do not have "special bulbs" for these particular tail lights; therefore, I will be using stock bulbs tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be nice and I can provide a good day and night time pics after the install.

Regards,
