Can anyone speak to the quality of this item? (Side mirror cover with LED blinker)

http://www.thespeedline.com/12-gt-86...e-mirror-case/

I really like the look of it, but I was wondering if anyone can vouch for the quality of the item and/or merchant.

I purchased Valenti smoked tails from them a few years ago. Good merchant in my books. Big on Ebay.

I should point out that just because someone sells good quality stuff doesn't mean the stuff you've never heard of isn't crap.

Case in point: My shop sells everything from cheapo wannabe gaming PSU's to actual ratted PSU's.

There's one review from Jan 2017 that screams fake.
You are gonna be the guinea pig for this if you buy them.

If you do, let us know how good/bad they are.
You planning on getting the offered painting done too?

probably going to get a quote from a local shop to make sure the paint match is on point. if they ask for too much I might just say yolo and have the merchant paint them.

Theyve been around for years. My "fake" Valentis look and work great. Buy with total confidence.

I was very active here from '12-'15 and only positive things regards to this vendor.

So did you purchase real ones or fake ones???

If I'm understanding what I think you are trying to say, you are misinterpreting what I posted.

I'm not implying that the guy sells fake stuff. (Even though he does, but those are labeled as such)

I'm saying that just because he sells legit good quality things does not mean ALL the stuff he sells is good quality.
Just like how I sell low generic PSU's AND high end ones.

You bringing up your experience is only helpful in terms of he's a good seller.
It does not speak to the quality of this product in any way.

Unlike your tails, these have no name brand associated with them.
