Thanks! The spacers were a must for me definitely. Due to the awful road conditions out here (huge potholes and overall lack of maintenance after a rough winter) I don't plan on putting on aftermarket wheels or lowering the car so the kit and the spacers became the best alternative for me. I also plan on dipping the existing wheels when I get the chance.

Probably 20 minutes for just the taillights. Removing the lining in the trunk can be fiddly, especially if you take care not to damage any of the snaps holding it all in.

The more difficult part is the flasher underneath the dashboard. That took me every bit as long as the lights, because I couldn't get it unplugged at the back.

Did you have to do that flasher thingy? My valentis didn't come with it. It just worked.

My Valentis didn't come with it also. I've heard that all you need to do is plug and play. No flash relay needed. I'll do the install tomorrow. Should be good.

I'll probably eventually get one of those. Gonna see how I like it for a week or so since it is kinda loud.
Just saw the ft86speedfactory v3 exhaust on FB that fits into where the reverse light goes. Will probably get that depending on when they release it.


Also got the diffuser on.

I did - my Tom's came with a flasher to install.

Valenti's must come with a built-in resistor to make them work plug-and-play. That's a nice feature!

When I was doing research into which rear lights to get I seem to remember that the V3 Valenti lights negate the need for the relay.
