trying to shove the drivers window seal back up into the top left corner(inside car perspective) the damn thing just started coming out for no apparent reason. I could see the glass through it with the window up.

Has anyone gotten one of the fourth brake light mods on a 2017 without removing the OEM tails?

Would like to see how it looks.

Which one is that? Seems to match the tails fairly well.

I did mine with a GCS smoked 4th brake light. 2017 tails look better than valenti's in my opinion.

That combination looks pretty nice for sure. If I did this at all I’d definitely keep the stock tails. Just considering change the center fog since it doesn’t really fit appearance-wise.

Am I the only one who prefers the aftermarket Valentis with the full hook instead of the 2017 OEM style.

Hey man you just have to choose what you think looks good. The options for these cars are pretty endless and looks are all subjective.

The good news for you is that new 2017 tails are about 2x the cost of valentis, so if you are able to sell your stock set then your preferred tails are more than paid for!

I like the Valentis, hoping to be able to install them sometime in the next few days. Just ran into some unexpected delays getting mine.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean others mind the 2017 tails.

Since we're on the topic of lighting I installed an itoy 4th brake light retrofit kit today. I've read mixed reviews online but I was super impressed with the kit and instillation was a breeze, the hardest part was getting the light past the OEM exhaust when I took it out to drill lol. Definitely the best $20 I've spent in a long time!

Went from faker to poser tonight. I feel like such a fraud... 'cause I don't even race yo!
