The one in the pic is available from @PMok or myself in person only. I think I have some still if not I'll try and get more before the Sac meet.

Yeah, it was hard to tell from the pictures on the site whether or not they'd be stickers or decals so I made the gamble. I'll definitely pick up one from you at the meet though. That's exactly what I was looking for. lol

Looks like there's also a smoked housing version that minimizes the impact of the chrome:

I didnt like it but I have really been wanting one as of late. Seeing the other cars with them it seems like it should be there. I just cant decide which one I like during the day since none of them jumo out at mr. I just like them at night when lit up

I heard a loud ass metallic TWANG sound from my front suspension as I went over the speed bump thing on my way into the parking lot this morning. Should I be concerned?

Coil bind. If it happens more check to ensure the springs preload is correct. Could just be from the cold

^this most likely. If its all correctly adjusted, you might need some of those rubber sleeves that go in between the coils to isolate them.

Thanks. First time I've ever heard a weird twang sound like that since I've got the suspension on.

I like the Valenti tail lights (especially the FT86 Speed Factory specials) a lot, but for some reason I'm not as big a fan of the 4th brake lights.
