Valenti Lights Mars Performance?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to buy a set of Valenti rear tail lights. I'm in Australia and Mars Performance has these lights really cheap. I'm wondering if they are legit Valenti products and if anyone has used their service. Here is a link to the product.... http://marsperformance.com.au/VALENT...GTS-Subaru-BRZ Thanks

There's Valenti products direct from Valenti (as per LED 86) as there's Valenti products direct from the manufacturer (Mars Performance / CT Auto). That's the price difference. They are exactly the same product.
Whether you feel morally obliged to go legitimately through Valenti direct is up to you. But i know where my money would rather go |

As stated above the difference is purchased through factory or purchased through Valenti but it's basically the same product.
The real difference comes down to the reseller. To get access to the rest of valenti's products like relays, side markers, headlights and the new revo tail lights you can only sell products directly purchased through Valenti. If you sell the cheaper versions you get on valenti's ban list. This is why you don't see the majority of resellers with the other products. |

Plus, doesnt Mars Performance have a bit of a non-solid customer record?

As in, bad rep from some bad customer service. Remember reading up when I was thinking about getting a SC and the reviews were mixed (annoyingly searching for mars performance turns up quite a bit of Bruno Mars' concert performances...)
