Not to mention it's totally a Toyota Corolla thing to have the third brake light there (which is totally fine... our cars are related to them anyway), whereas having it up top looks more "BMW-esque"... not that we care to mimic BMW's...

Corolla (disregard the ricey aftermarket tails):

Wanting something different was my factor. Just a happy coincidence that they were the inexpensive ones. Lol. Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1410389222508.jpg

Started to hear some rattle at start-up with my Top Speed Catback.

Look under, the silicone sheath near the rear suspension is already gone, only took a month

Quality, maybe I have more room to adjust it now.

I have the catback, it fits tight near the axle and usually has a silicone piece so it doesn't rub.
